I have found my extractor Lefevers to be quite smooth cocking with little effort. Those with in-frame ejectors though power the ejectors by the upper arm of the main spring. On opening you are cocking both the hammers & the ejectors so cocking is a bit stiffer on those. I do appreciate the fact though the ejectors are not being cocked by the ejectors being pushed in by the breech face in closing. There seems to be much less friction involved in cocking the ejectors on the Lefever than that of rubbing them down the breech face.
