[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 4031024, member: 41176"] No, nothing you can really do about it other than getting one of those clamp-on throw levers which work pretty well. The magnification lens assembly moves axially fore/aft to increase or decrease magnification. The thread pitch on the ring and barrel vary from design and manufacture and combined with the design of the lens assembly is what's causing the resistance. Tolerance in the barrel and body and interface to the eyepiece and being sealed to the environment are all contributors. All the oil/lube you want to squirt in there (bad idea) will pretty much do nothing. If it's an issue that inhibits operation and even a throw lever can't do anything about, I'd send it back to see if there's something the company can do. Might be an o-ring all bunged up and they can fix it. [/QUOTE]
