Kirby, had the same issue with a new, unfired Repro a few years ago. Richard is correct about the cosmoline, It can become glue like with age.
I took the buttstock off and sprayed a degreaser on the mechanism. Wiped it down and cleared up any gunk. Dried it out and put a light amount of oil on the moving parts and contact points. Problem solved.
