It doesn't eject shells properly even after a good cleaning. Firing pin malfunctions.
Speaking of ignore, would it be possible for you to just ignore me?

Well both really. I cleaned it up pretty good and the ejecting got better not 100% though. Now the firing pin just barely dents the shell. I can pull the trigger twice and it will sometimes fire. Just don't like messing with half fired shells. You guys have convinced me. Gonna take them all in after the season. Thanks for the help.
That is probably just gunk inside the bolt. You didn't mention it, so I doubt you really took it down for a thorough cleaning. I say that because if you had taken than particular model down, you definitely would have thought it worth mentioning. It is a pretty involved process to remove the trigger group and bolt on the Auto-5 and sometimes the Remington and Savage versions have just a minor variation or two that make it even more difficult. It isn't broken, but you will probably be better off getting a gunsmith familiar with the Auto-5 to do it. You can do it, but it is definitely old school stuff.
But I guarantee you the ejection problem is just that the friction rings are adjusted wrongly. You can do that. It is easy.
Before you take it to a gunsmith, open the bolt and spray something like carburator cleaner in there and really let it soak down in the bolt. You might even get some Kroil oil or something that will really penetrate and loosen some of that gunk that is in that old bolt. Spray it down really well, let it sit overnight, and see if that helps.
Make sure you get the carburator cleaner down in the trigger group area as well. That gun was made in the late 40s, so you probably have nearly 70 years of gun oil and gunk in there that have clogged it up.

Thoughts on Jim's firearms on Siegen?
Lmao! I brought a Verona shotgun to these people to have the bolt handle replaced and a new bead installed. I informed the high school student working behind the counter that the manufacturer was no longer in business. He says ok we can fix it. Two months later,hadn't heard from them. Stopped in and checked on it same kid went to fetch the gun and about ten minutes later he returned with my gun and said sorry but the manufacturer is no longer in business. I was in disbelief. Needless to say there ain't much "gun smithing" going on at Jim's. Don't waste your time. Take it to a professional.

Get you a brownells catalog and a Midway Usa and restore them yourself get a few books supplies and you can do it your self its allot of fun too. Now on the savage just replace o rings springs & firing pin see if that works and if it doesn't work then take it to a gunsmith. Guns r fun to tinker with
