The cocking piece may be your problem but it could also be the safety lever too. Check the beveled edge on the lip of the safety where it engages the slot in the cocking piece, sometimes the angle is too steep and won't engage properly. You can file or stone it to a shallower angle and polish it then it should work better. You can also round and polish the leading edge of the cocking piece slot with a needle file to further reduce the force required to engage the safety.

also always put the bolt in the action before you try to move the safety. Its weird but you cant move the safety when the bolt is out of the rifle.
