Guessing this is the best location for answers on this one, if not, mods feel free to move.
I have an Astra 600 mfg in 1945, west german police markings that I inherited from my grandfather.When I got it, some very old, sticky crud had to be cleaned out to get it to dry fire (seemed like what I hear old wd40 will do, although my father claims to have only used regular Hoppe's oil, dont know about grandpa though).I Have hosed it out with LOTS of "Gunscrubber" and relubed with RemOil and it seems to funtion fine, but I have noticed that the 1st 3/4's of the trigger pull feels as I would expect, then the last 1/4 is VERY tight.Is this (the very tight, last 1/4 of pull) normal on these, or is it an indication that I need to get the instuctions to strip it 100% for more cleaning (or have a smith do it as I have no idea if more than a field strip is within my abilities or a good idea on this gun). Any help would be appreciated.
