Sounds good, but it is not quite true. The 97 does not have a disconnector as such but it does disconnect. If it did not, the hammer would simply follow the bolt down and would have to be cocked for the next shot.
What actually happens is that the trigger and sear are designed so that if the trigger is held back while the action is worked, the trigger interferes with the sear on closing the bolt, and trips the sear, causing the hammer to fall. That is not accidental, it is part of the design and was apparently intended to work that way.
But wear or parts work over the years can cause the sear to trip when the bolt is closed even if the trigger is NOT being held back. So I would not automatically assume that a 97 firing when the bolt closes is due to the trigger being held. The gun needs to be looked at by someone who knows those old guns.
