It is good to see photos of this gun. What a forend on it! That would be an easy thing to correct, be it a replacement or a new one. Other matters like the dented barrel and screws are easily corrected by someone who knows what they are doing. A good disassembly and cleaning would be in order too.
With these things done, you would have a great shooter.
Just a note about the top lever position. It does not really matter much as to where it is, the thing to look at is the filed dish on the top of the action. If the dish on the lever lines up with the top of the frame, then it is not worn. And if the action is tight, then there is no worries.
