I just serviced an S&S M from about 1922. I noticed saw-dust looking material around some of the drop screws. Blowing it off and action back in and then out again - more saw-dust. The drop screws are scraping the bottom of the block. That explained some of the tightness pulling out the action. When it is regulated perhaps the problem will go away. It's never been apart - original block. Perhaps the glides have been positioned too high?
