new Merkels are usually pretty stiff but not break over the knee stiff.....is it that stiff just opening and closing or much stiffer after being fired..??...My first Merkel [147] was stiff but that break over the knee stiff only after being fired.....sent it back to the importers gunsmith [Gunther??] and he said the fireing pins were a tad to long....fixed it and returned .....fine ever since...but still a little stiff....
