[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1335879"] Since you are working against the mainspring of the Firing pin, there isn't anything you can really do, because reducing spring weight only results in light hits on the primer. Is the rifle overly long or not fitted to the shooter? Are you attempting to do rapid fire drills? Is the Bolt handle too small or perhaps is bent in such away as to be too close to the eyepiece on the scope, which can make it harder to manipulate the bolt, because you can't clear the scope with a power bolt throw, because you will bang your fingers on the scope. Maybe a look at how the shooter is manipulating the bolt, and refine their technique. Otherwise, I can't really think of anything, as I do agree with Shortgrass that the Cock on opening conversion costs a lot more than it's worth. [/QUOTE]
