On a new rifle, sometimes the surfaces and finish is a little rough. Many times, these parts can be a little stiff till the finish or surface area is used and becomes smooth and more shiney. As this happens, the parts will run smoother and smoother over time. Now, let these same parts dry out and the friction between them increases. Running them "wet" (especially the BCG) .... with a visible amount of oil on the surface, can help alleviate this. As the parts break in and smooth out, they won't need as much oil to run smoothly.
Next time your are at the range, take out your BCG and spray it with oil till it is starting to drip off. Give the BCG a shake to get rid of the excessive dripping and stick it in the upper. See if this solves your problem. Too many people want to resort to cutting springs and other drastic measures when they typically aren't neccessary. If running it wet doesn't help with the issue, then come back and let us know.
Oh ..... yes, running it wet will slop things up and make it messy. But, you don't have to run it like that foreever. And, it clean up easily enough.
