hi, yes you are right, its the cocking slide that is stiff, as you said the trigger looks fragile, but it does seem to be locked up, as said i'm sure it used to move freely,

its strange due to life changes and may be a different view of life, i have/had too much stuff i do nothing with, so its time to say goodbye to quite alot of it, hence the valuation.
