MARLIN LC SMITH FIELD GRADE

Just bought a new marlin lc smith made in 1970, gun shoots really nice and on target but i have a question, Ive been noticing that the cocking lever has been getting a little tough to move to the right when opening the barrels, not everytime I open it but about every 4th or 5th time. Could this be a lubrication issue? I havent had the gun apart yet.

Download the manual. Proper fitting screwdrivers and punches would be high on my list. Apex brand bits ground to fit.

40 year old lube might not be doing a good job any more. Q-tip applied thin layer of Rig grease after cleaning, de-burring and cleaning again.

Thank you, this morning i dropped some oil in around the lever and its already working better, Ill have to take the sideplates off soon and take a better look.
