problem with firing pin extension riding up on top of hammer at full cock. this does not seem normal as it binds the lever slightly. this is a short stroked CAS rifle.any ideas?

I cant really picture that problem - do you mean full cock, or do you when the lever is fully extended, action open?

You may have to relieve the top of the hammer and/or the flat underneath the firing pin extension..
Just enough to prevent binding, then polish both surfaces..
A little lithium grease on those surfaces, and vigorous cycling of the action should take care of it..
