'Thanks' to the both of you, Chuck and Bill, for your replies. Upon closer inspection, the little square-ended part of the trip is not present and the part will likely need replaced. I can see the round, spring-loaded portion of the trip that sits vertically in the frame but not the flat blade that one normally depresses to return the top lever to center position, which may have fractured off. The main top lever mechanism is functioning as it should with the bolt locking and retracting in sync with the top lever's movement. I do appreciate you letting me know that it is an identical system to their double-barreled guns, as I am familiar with those. Will get it remedied ASAP.
All Best,
Rob
