My browning 71 conversion has a quite stiff lever action at the end of the levering stroke as the carrier is being lifted.
My model 71 is basically new, I have cycled the action maybe a 100 times and it has eased up a little. When i drip gun oil on the parts it eases up some more but after the oil gets worked out it seems to stiffen back up.
I would like to learn to take this rifle apart (need help with that) and also wondering if there is a way to loosen some parts up so it cycles the forward end of the lever action easier and smoother.
thanks
