As Gabe said, definitely do a rebuild. If you buy the kit from AGD, it will also include a plastic detent for the barrel.
I've shredded paint on the wire detents. Don't know if that's part of your issue, but it's possible.
Also, if you know somebody that has an old revy hopper, give that a try. Most of the hoppers out there today push the paint too hard for these old single-detent, large-bore barrels. It could be that your hopper is overpowering your detent and you're chopping in the breech.
I would also get an RT on/off. I use them in all my classic valves. It has a "crisper" trigger pull and helps lessen the difference between a mag trigger pull and other mechs. But you still need to be very consistent with a quick pull all the way through and a full release.
If you don't do a full pull and release on a cocker, you double feed; on a mag, you'll chop.
You should be able to fire as fast as you physically can without issue, you just have to pull and release the right way.
