Congrats! ? I foresee a lot of fun and good times ahead for you with that little beauty! ?
BTW, the cocking is most likely a bit stiff due to the barrel pivot bolt being too tight from the factory. Not uncommon on new HW break barrels. You could either back the bolt off just a tad or add a drop of oil to each side of the barrel pivot, between the barrel block and receiver fork. The oil might be a good idea anyway because if memory serves I believe they come a bit dry in the pivot area. And the rivet joining the 2 pieces of the cocking lever is often too tight as well, which can add to the stiff cocking and can cause the cocking lever to want to gall on the receiver tube. Adding a drop of oil to each side of that hinge area would be a good idea, too. Then just shoot it and enjoy it!
