So, what is the correct way to express the problem this lad is experiencing?Kelbly actions have always been a cock on close action. That is if you set it up with the recommended pin fall it will have cock on close.
I’d say by the video he posted he has the typical cock on close. I suspect we had some miscommunication as to taking measurements when trying to determine how much.So, what is the correct way to express the problem this lad is experiencing?
would cock on close make the cocking piece protrude more after the action hitches and starts going downward? cause once it catches and goes over the "bump" I described it protrudes more.I’d say by the video he posted he has the typical cock on close.

Yeswould cock on close make the cocking piece protrude more after the action hitches and starts going downward? cause once it catches and goes over the "bump" I described it protrudes more.
I sent an action to them a few years back and I got a response quickly, as I remember, the day after it was delivered to them. No problems with the action and they shipped it back to me the next day. I think you are correct, they want you out shooting your rifle and are concerned with you not having the action to be able to go and shoot with. There are many posts on this forum about Kelbly’s excellent customer service and they are well founded.would cock on close make the cocking piece protrude more after the action hitches and starts going downward? cause once it catches and goes over the "bump" I described it protrudes more.
now im curious how long Kleblys will have the action for. Not that I care. I still need a barrel and chassis.
On the Bat the pin sticks out of the cocking piece as a cocked indicatorI’d like to know just how to measure cock on close with a Bat B action. I’ve never been clear on this topic myself. Anyone care to jump in ?
Same method. Take a measurement as you close the bolt just before the pin begins to move back. Then measure when cockedOh cool’ I’ll do that, now how should I measure the cock on close?
Sounds confusing..before the pin moves = open bolt pin protrudes 0.0445 ?Same method. Take a measurement as you close the bolt just before the pin begins to move back. Then measure when cocked
edited to try to make more clear
As you close the bolt you need to stop just as the bolt lugs pop over the top of the abutments in the action. As said above as you continue to rotate the bolt the shroud will continue to move back.Sounds confusing..before the pin moves = open bolt pin protrudes 0.0445 ?
As the bolt begins to close on the cocking ramp the pin protrudes 0.054 beyond the shroud.
Closed bolt 0.039
If the pin does not continue to move rearward as you close the bolt you have zero cock on closeI think I got it, ( maybe lol) it really feels like a tiny little spot.
Open 0.0445
The little spot just before the bolt rotates measures.
0.049
