I once had a guy send me a gun that he thought would not open only because the gun was un cocked and he didn't want to force it and risk breaking something. He was used to the gun always being cocked and the barrels just falling open.
When I got the gun, I opened it, it cocked and I said to myself, there is nothin wrong with this gun.
Not saying that is the issue here, just a funny story. Sounds like you have some sort or mechanical issue that needs addressed. If your lever is opening and the gun is opening 1/8", then there should be nothing wrong with the bolting assembly. Sounds cocking related to me.
