AW style 22 trainer question
- Thread starter Jrb572

perhaps maybe removing the handle and having it welded / silver soldered in a different position will get you what you want.
just whipping out my D shaped protractor some rough measurements through eyeballing from the horizontal:
savage 45 ish, 1.625" "cycle stroke distance"
marlin 50 ish, 1.5" "cycle stroke distance"
cz 45 ish 1.625" "cycle stroke distance"
i threw in a distance from the center of the handle in the cocked and locked position to where the center of the handle stops at ejection. don't know the technical term, so i'm calling it the cycle stroke distance.
the way the handles are bent either inward or outward changes all of that as far as feel and scope clearance goes. i have oversized knobs on all of them and somewhat redirected the feel of the throw, so it's tough to describe what the "felt throw" is. i know i can cycle a marlin alot quicker than the savage and cz, now i can see why.

I believe if you can find one of the old 541 series Remington rifles, they have a 60° bolt lift. My 541 X has three sets of rear locking lugs. The AW has three sets of front locking lugs. They both should have the same degree of bolt lift.
