One of the big three.
The gun is almost flat when you have to overcome spring tension to close it. With no leverage, such a small delicate firearm feels like you'll break it in half at that moment. Of course you won't.
I've been thinking about cocking cycles for years. It's one of the nerdy bits about shotguns we've never hashed over here.
I picked a poor weekend to start the discussion.
It would be wonderful to have a list of at what degree of down do typical designs complete their cocking. And at what load.
On the mechanic end, it would be nice to go over all the little parts that can be polished without fear to smooth out cocking mechanisms.
Just trying to spur content toward mechanicals, and away from non essentials.
