Interesting observation as the cocking lever on my Cayden is tighter and smoother than the one on my Brocock. Maybe the pin at the pivot is worn? I certainly can’t help you with this one…..sorry
you can install nylon washers the correct size and thickness or use rubber o rings if The tolerance and play will allow. You don't want it too tight, or it will not perform correctly. Hope this helps.
nice appreciate todd. when i cock all the way back ,i can move the handle up and down about a good 1/2 in. not terrible ,but sloppy. guess ill pull apart and check out. like your idea of nylon washers. thanks again j
