Richard and all,
My Repro had similar sticking issues. It seems to happen when it is very cold and the gun gets wet either from the elements or a shaking wet dog. When the action is broken, the first time it is pushed off of safe seems sticky, after that it is fine. The next time it is opened, again sticky the first time off safe. So after breaking, I work the safety off and on safe once. When the gun is dry, the problem disappears.
I know. I know. "Take better care of your guns...." But it's a gun.
Richard's explanation of the wood swelling around the rod seems to make sense.
Thank you all.
