I have fit orphan barrels to guns and it takes great patience. With a kerosene lamp, a very fine diamond file and a steady hand it can be done. But it is a long, slow process.
The lever issue probably requires careful filing of the removable wear plate. Don't change the angle though.
But you're probably better off sending it to a smith who is well experienced in Parkers.
