This may be an easy lock but i am having a hell of a time trying on it fo rnow. I started only a few days ago and i have been reading alot but i feel like im a little stuck on this one. I did a simple one and a 131D but i have yet to open this one yet. Thank you in advance for the help.

Very light tension & use a half diamond to shovel the pins upward in small increments. That said, always possible that your bitting is difficult, take a peak at the key, if you have one, and try to get a sense of the topography of the interior of the lock from that.
