Hello all,
I recently bought a Browning Cynergy CX and have not yet taken it to the range.
Per the instructions in the manual, I removed the anti rusting compound from the barrels and receiver and oiled both.
However while using 12G snap caps (tipton) and working the action I noticed breaking the gun open after firing the snap caps is very stiff.
I can break the gun open with a firm grip. However, to get it to break open all the way, and the snap caps to kick out, I have to put the butt of the gun on my thigh to break the gun open the rest of the way.
I oiled all the points the manual pointed out but its still stiff. Does it just need to be broken in?
Also, I originally had used hoppes gun grease since the manual suggested a heavy grease but said oil would do.
Since it was stiff I removed the grease best I could and the oiled with hoppes oil instead with the same end result.
Any help is appreciated, I was hoping to get the action working smoothly before my first round of trap.
Thank you.
