Yes there is such thing as an "off-face" Lefever. When moving the socket ball and the barrels do not line up with the breech and the ejectors don't work, it is not work for the amateur gunsmith or the faint at heart. It took someone far better than me to take care of a "socket ball not properly adjusted." I can tell by the amount of machinist/layout dye left on the barrels and rib extension that it was not a simple task. The gun had been shot extensively while loose and with the ejectors never properly working.
