Moving the bolt handle forward does create some other issues.
I've dealt with the gap by setting the shroud in another turn. The downside to that is that the cocking piece will protrude farther out the rear of the shroud, which doesn't bother me much.
I know of a couple people here on The Hide that have mentioned they have ways to rework the cocking piece if it doesn't transition from the bolt to the trigger smoothly. Chad Dixon is one and I believe Randall (2156SMK ?) was another. Obviously Aeon has some knowledge in this area as well.
It seems like a pita, but if you don't have positive extraction, you don't have shit.
Deepening the notch in the bolt that holds the cocking piece while the rifle is cocked, but out of battery isn't hard if you're competent and careful. On my bolts, I haven't had to deepen the main cutout that allows the cocking piece to travel forward when it's released.
