Once the extraction camming surface is located as it should have been in the first place, lifting the handle starts extraction to a substantial degree AND the cocking piece is moved back far enough that the rifle will cock whether or not the bolt is withdrawn any further. GD.

Sorry, but the primary extraction cramming surface as you call it has no effect on cocking. The cocking force is entirely the result of force applied to the cramming surface cut in the bolt body. That is all rotational via the bolt handle.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
