If the bolt probe was the same diameter as the pellet, it might prevent the magazine from turning on the pellet.
A standard aligning machine taper is 15 deg. Which Usually helps to start engagement uniformly when assembling items. I have a small carbide boring bar that I use in the lathe with the barrel thru the headstock for modifying lead-ins.
Sounds like the hardest part is done. If you move the Allen screw on the hammer, the bolt may or may not engage the sear to cock it. Just check it first. If it is not going to cock the hammer, might see what limits the hammer travel. Could be something simple there you could do. I’m not familiar with that particular gun. Dave

If you measure the threaded hole I.D. and add .02777 this will give you major diameter. Then just divide by .03937 to get metric screw size. HTH
And since it’s a new hole, you have the option to change the hole and fit a new screw. I may be missing something (quite possible, lol). If you move the hammer screw forward, won’t that stop the bolt/probe sooner?Dave
I was talking about bolt/probe not being able to come further back during the cocking stroke. Dave
