Correctly working early K actions are longer than post-war short actions but are still as smooth as butter. It should not take extra force to reach full cock. Make sure the mainspring strain screw is fully seated and that it hasn't been cut off in the past. Some early shooters would modify the mainspring screw length to lighten the double-action-only action. A replacement mainspring strain screw is cheap.
