Cock on close had some good reasons. Mostly extraction in a hot dirty gun. It really works best with a straight bolt. When you put on a welded bolt like you have you loose a lot of the grip you need to operate the action. The straight bolt was opperated by striking it up with an open palm hitting it with the web between the fore finger and the thumb. Closing it by hooking it with the thumb.

You might look at this cock on open conversion. I've fired rifles with it in the gun and they work well.
