Default Top Lever slack

I have a slightly loose Parker that will close on a .002" shim between the breech and barrels. The top lever, when pushed towards open then shows a 3/8" of play before I can feel the spring beginning to compress. It has play without the shim in also, but then it seems to be less. Before I dismount the stock to see what's going on, does anyone have an idea of what is happening here or might be happening? Is the locking bolt worn and running out of travel, maybe?
