Is there spring resistance in the lever when you open the action?

thanks all for the replies.

there is no resistance to the lever.
I will look to replace the top lever spring. Would anyone have a parts list or schematic once I take this apart to take a look see?

See if Brian Dudley who replied above can work it in to fix it. He has salvaged top-lever springs which will have to be fitted.

Once fixed, I would not hesitate to continue using a family gun.
