I picked up a 1957 Marlin 39a and the action is so stiff it's painful to work the lever as intended. I've cleaned and lubed but it's still too stuff.
I've worked the action close to 1000 times. I can't tell if I'm making much progress.
I'm thinking about polishing the bolt and the lever at all the wear marks. Nothing much, just a few passes with fine grit sandpaper. Bad idea?
