From what I gather the idea of the insert was good as it stopped the upper surface of the cocking arm scraping the underside of the cylinder, however, HW added a fairly strong spring under the insert and this caused the cocking 'shoe' end of the arm to scrape along the inner edge of the cocking slot moving the galling to that location.
I gather best results came from removing the spring from under the insert, polishing the shoe and applying lube and freeing up the riveted pivot between the short and long links allowing the it to articulate more freely.
It seems odd that the cocking system is essentially the same on the HW30/HW35/HW50/HW99S, yet the older guns don't seem to give as much issue.
