First... Is the gun completely original (as far as you can tell) with no alterations? ie: restocking, welding cutting or grinding on anything.
Do your tang screws tighten up properly, or are they able to be over tightened?
Second: Strip and clean everything. Nearly any gun can benefit from a good cleaning. Sometimes that will fix whatever issue you may be having.
Anything beyond that is anyones best guess as there are several different little things that can cause the general issue of "not cocking", and without having specific knowledge of the particular gun, it is difficult to diagnose.
Generally saying, if you take the action completely off the wood and reassemble everything without the wood, you should be able to test function. You just will not have the safety assembly in place. Then you can see if the issue may be replaced to the safety, or to the trigger plate being pulled up due to over tightening of screws.
