Perfect explanation. I’ll give them a call Monday and report back here. That’s what I’m worried about. That abrupt transition. I could care less about the feel at this point. Just want to make sure there isn’t an actual mechanical issue. Thanks for all the reply’s to you and everyone else. It really is appreciated. I know everyone here knows the feeling of getting somthing expensive and it not living up to expectations.He's right but some are worse than others. Just call them and talk with them, and go from there. I'd be shocked if it was bad enough to cause any physical problem, like galling but just give them a call. If nothing else, it'll be worth some piece of mind. Again, some cock on close really boils down to feel rather than anything performance wise. Had one in the shop a while back that I imagine is similar to yours. I did use a different hanger and massaged things a bit to make it a little better without going all in on it. I don't remember the exact numbers but I think it was still at .245 pin fall when I called it good enough.
I really wouldn't call it a quality issue but more of an intentional design aspect. Some of it is the rather abrupt transition of the closing cams. You can carefully break the edges ther, both inside the action and on the leading edge of the bolt lugs to smooth it out just a tad bit without changing anything about pin fall or anything. A little goes a good way here but it won't change the amount of cock on close, just smooth out the abrupt transition to it some.
