I just picked an "Enders Special Service" 16 Guage and really like it. The trouble is I practically have to break it over my knee to open the d**n thing up.
Any suggestions on how to loosen the sucker up a bit???

Use it...
Seriously.
A hundred or so rounds will do more to smooth up the opening sequence than anything else - and will do so as the manufacturer intended - as opposed to 'helping' it.
If it's still stiff after a handful of boxes - 'then' look for high spots to polish - but not before.
Good Luck,

Assuming it's a hammerless gun, often what makes it stiff to open is re-cocking. If it is still stiff after a number of rounds and polishing it may the springs eased up a bit. The trick of course is to maintain reliable ignition...
