Makes more sense now. Thanks for the comprehensive description, Bill.
It seems the timing is fine, I'll try backing off the bolt/trigger spring screw a bit. Is the spring tension on that screw enough to keep it in place (if it is not tightened down) or is a bit of blue locktite needed?
I'm thinking that another factor may have been that the face of the bolt itself (that touches the cylinder) was extremely rough. Maybe it was kind of filing the leads. Being careful not to change the shape, I smoothed it out with super fine sand paper and a soft Arkansas stone, then polished it. Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems to cock smoother.
