Thats correct. It's been so long since I have hunted with mine cuz of my Nova, but that action would never close all the way in the Iowa cold. I tried everything, drylube, oil, hoppes #9, and always kept it clean but it never seemed to work right on really cold days. Like I said earlier....my vote goes to the Bennelli SBE or 1187. Spend the extra and get the SBE, and like it was stated earlier, a good pump is far better than a cheap auto loader.
