excessive cock on close, **updated/resolved**

[Kevin1990]

Action back in hand. That was quick! Kelblys note says “nothing wrong with action or bolt. Tested on Triggertech primary. Firing pin has .250 of fall. Timing of the firing pin is correct to TT’s own instructions on their website.“

“Installed .030” longer fall hanger to make it engage the trigger faster. Customer may like this more. Sending original hanger back in bag.”

Thanks for all the reply’s everyone. Much appreciated!

Well...nothing left to do now but get a barrel, and chassis and go shoot.

So....how does it feel with the new hanger?

Honestly? About the same. Perhaps a little better. Little less downward force is needed. I’m just used to my Kauger and Defiance actions. Even my Tikka and a rem 700 don’t feel like this one, but I think once I get the chassis it’ll be much better.

again forgive my stupidity but when i look down into the action it does appear I get resistance right at the point of engagement of the lugs contacting the raceway. thats when I need to give it pressure to get over that little hump and then continue the pressure as it closes

That initial pressure that you feel just as you start to turn the handle down is caused by the depth of the detent that is just past (in rotation) the top of the cocking cam. In the past, without changing the shape or locaton of the detent people who want to have less effort closing at that point have carefully lowered the area between the detent and the start of the cam. The purpose of the detent is to keep the cocking piece and shroud properly indexed as the bolt is opened and closed. You need some, but may be just fine if you reduce the amount that the cocking piece has to back up as you start to close the bolt.

I have done as suggested on my actions that needed it for years and it does help, just don't get carried away
