Empire sniper pump return

Finally scored at a pawn shop and picked this sniper plus a spire. Only $100 for both!

It works surprisingly well, but the pump handle has too much resistance and won't return from just the spring, you have to push on it. Apparently this was a common issue with these as the pump grip swells. The fix I found was to try and drill it out a little.

I have a friend who says he's got the right bitbit wanted to see if anyone else has any suggestions that might be easier?
