The cocking piece should be adjusted so that in the fired position, the cocking pin is free to rotate and/or wiggle. Means that with firing pin assy forward, firing pin travel is NOT stopped by the cocking pin, but IS stopped by the 11F firing pin stop nut bevel hitting the corresponding female bevel in the bolt body.
Moving turning the cocking pin backwards reduces cocking force/firing pin whack. Eventually the primer won't fire.
I'm guessing that fiddling with f.p. protrusion and f.p. stop nut would get to optimum low cocking force and still firing the primer---but I've never done it and don't know.
I'm enormously strong and never had a problem with bolt opening or closing force.
Also never lie.
