Richard, the release lever figits just a bit. I push on it, and it will stick inside just a bit, then I have to pull it out. It has roughly a quarter of an inch of play before it sticks. In other words; it has some play but I suspect it is not going all the way inside that it can. I have really only just played with it a bit, just giving the penetrating oil time to digest. I have been loath to set the gun upright and use two hands to break it. At this point I've only had it upside down on the table while dispensing oil on the bottom letting it soak in that direction. I always make sure the oil coats the breach, all hinge points and the release lever. I'm of the mind to wait as long as needed. Thinking to myself that one day it will all magically fall into a beautiful parts-pile.
Although if you and others are of the mind that it would be safe to be a bit more foreward with it, I suppose I can tinker just a bit more.
I just took more photo's of recent progress, they will be uploaded soon.
