Action smoothing question, Win '94 Trapper

Hi all,
Been trying to clean up the action on a Winchester 94 trapper .357
(ser. # 6,000,000+) to use for CAS ( I hear its less than ideal... but its what I got to work with). After a couple hours of polishing with some 1000 grit and a 13# wolf spring, its much much better than it was when I got it used.

They heaviest resistance I can feel when I work the action is the initial resistance required to open the action the first inch or so, and the last bit to close the action. Can I safely reduce this resistance? How would I do it?

It makes sense to me to have the action "catch" firmly at this point in its action to lock up. I wouldn't want to go too far and end up with a loose action that popped open if jarred too suddenly.

Id appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance.
