Re: a very nice look alike MS Carcano

Fitted a 358 barrel from a 35 Sambar, cut the chamber off and reamed to 6.5x54 MS with a 35 cal pilot.
What I call " 35 Carcano ", a bit more than a 35 Remington and a bit less than 358 Win.
I'm about to start developing a load for it using 180gr hard cast powdercoated projectiles, most likely 356 Win load data or 358 Win start loads.

Question:
When you open the bolt on a M/C, can you spin the bolt sleeve/cocking piece or is there some sort of detent or lock that keeps it in place?
The Swede 94/96 lacks such a lock and in a video Ian McCollum who is also left handed like I am had issues w/ the M/C functioning left handed as he bumped the open bolt and caused the sleeve to turn thus fouling and preventing closure of the bolt.
From reading on the M/C I think it looks like an interesting action for a project like yours but as a lefty, I'm curious about this.
