I have a C93 I bought from a member here that GB2k rebarreled and did some work on, and it has been fun to shoot, but it's really hard to pull the handle back to charge the rifle. My ptr is real easy to charge in comparison. The handle flips out 90 degrees just fine, it's just a bear to pull to the rear position. I've given the inside where the cocking tube rides a little lube, as well as a little for the bcg, but I don't think it helped much. I got a new to me 223 hk21 style handle from hkspecialist, and that gave me a little more leverage, but no real help there either. Different stocks, and trigger groups, but no change. It's not just at the beginning of the pull either, it's the whole way. The cocking tube seems clean, and with everything out of the rifle it's easy to move but still seems a little "sticky?". Was I not supposed to put lube in there? I also lightly greased the recoil spring.
I've searched the forum a bit, and found some similar problems discussed but not exact I don't think. Any ideas?
