It will get better with use, but to what extent it's hard to tell. One of the reasons that fancy break shotguns are so pricey is that they are adjusted and hand-fitted at the factory; Baikal offers a good gun at a great price but eliminates such steps, meaning they need to wear in to that point. Go ahead and put a little general-purpose grease at the hinge and sides, see how it works. If you need to break it over your knee, you'll probably get a grease stain on your dungarees, though. And note that if the problem is the surfaces mating to each other, greasing them will slow that process down.
Many people believe that the ejector springs are too strong (they are compressed when you close the action), thus they dis-assemble them and snip off some coils. I don't want to divert traffic from our forums, but if you search on another site which is The Internet's #1 Shotgun Resource, there's directions for that.
Some people might apply a fine grit (lapping compound) in the friction points to help it wear in faster. Don't do this if you don't know what you're doing.
