ATR bolt mod

ImAShrimp

.270 WIN
I just recently purchased a 100 ATR chambered in .308. The initial cocking of the firing pin when rotating the bolt open is very heavy when compared to other rifles that I have used in the past. With others, I have been able to open the bolt with the top of my index finger (lifting directly up from the trigger) and then pulling it to the rear and cycling the bolt with the one finger. With the "heaviness" of the ATR bolt, it is a whole-hand operation to rotate the bolt open.

All of that is to ask if there is some way to disassemble the bolt to make a spring mod to allow it to rotate easier without affecting the reliability of the firing pin?

Here's to wishful thinking.
