To legitimize my post, I have had many top lever 16ga guns (0 frame), and do not recall any which would not open with the right hammer cocked. My only TL 12 with a fishtail would not, which doesn't make sense, as the wider the frame, the further the hammer is to the right, seemingly making it More likely to open.
I have a grade 3 #1 frame 12 from 1887 with a fishtail top lever, it opens with the hammer cocked.
