SuperNova Pump - slide getting stuck and not smooth anymore

[Benellirook]

I have a Supernova Pump that has recently started sticking when racking the slide. I'm not sure what it is. Took it apart and cleaned it all up and still. I know there is something simple that I'm probably missing and need to ask for help at this time. Hopefully the video will post and show where it gets stuck. 

If anyone has had this happen to them before, would love to know what you did.

I once had an old, abused and neglected Mossberg a friend gave me. It was smooth as butter,

Then I cleaned it.  All that gunk is why it was so smooth. 
 

Disassemble and look for burs and shiney spots.

I'm going to have to try to clean it out again and will look for the burs and shiny spots you mentioned. So frustrating that this happened.

Any update on this?

I took it apart again and can't figure out where the rough spot is. I'm going to give it one more cleaning overhaul this weekend. The gun itself shoots great and will still rack, but it is not operating as smoothly as it once did.

I think my Turkish pump is a nova clone, it had a similar issue with very resistive pumping.  Lubricate the magazine tube, that was the issue with my gun, it ended up making the cycling 10x easier.  I hope this helps!

I should clarify, lubricating the OUTSIDE of the magazine tube may help.
