Microtech Socom Elite Gritty action

[Hairlesstwinkie]

Just got a brand new one in a trade, but the action is gritty. I've oiled it, but it's still gritty. Is this normal for new microtechs until they are broken in? Or can someone be very kind and let me rent/borrow their MT tool kit.

My new microtech was gritty and had a sticky lock, but after cycling it 100-200 times it has broken in very well and is now a real treat to use.
