Hard to open VH

[terc]

Maybe there is not a problem at all. How hard is it to open? After the initial opening you say it is easy to open.
Maybe you are just describing the hammers being recocked. It is harder to open most doubles the first time after fireing.Once they are reset the spring tension is no longer felt.
Just a thought.

I thought of that too Dave, but it was a little harder than one would have expected.

ACTION REPORT: After a little lubrication and quite a few cycles of the mechanism (dry firing, opening, closing, etc.) the gun now opens much easier than originally found. I think it must have sat in someone's closet for a very long time. Now I have to give it the "test by fire" and see how the old girl handles it. Thanks for your help.
