I bought a used M24 on ebay a few years ago, which I believe is made by CYMA or Snow Wolf. Want to start fielding it but the bolt pull is EXTREMELY hard - to the point where one must pull it with two hands. I'm not physically deficient.

The bolt has barely any grease or lubricant on it so I purchased some P-Force spray.

I was wondering if applying this should solve the bolt pull problem or if its just a very high tension spring?

Let me know what you guys think

If you can chrono it, that would tell you if it has a super heavy spring in it. I know some people put ridiculous springs in sniper rifles trying to get the FPS as high as possible for private games (which is dangerous to other players and not advised for anyone to do). I've seen one over 700 fps because he though it would double his range because he doubled his fps (which is not how it works). It kind of sounds like the guy you got it from probably did something similar. I change the spring in my used guns pretty much immediately after the initial function test so I know exactly what is in it.

If the spring isn't the issue, I would disassemble and check your parts for damage, burrs, or debris.

It's possible that just leaving it sit since you bought it has made all the parts seize up. If the spring isn't super strong, just take the whole assembly apart and grease it up.
