Gun Issue

[Tom]

Scott are you saying the lever sometimes returns to the closed position when the gun is open ? If I am understanding that right, quite possibly the gun is in fact gummed up. There is a latch below the bolt that holds the bolt back while the gun is open, if it's gummed up it won't do its job. Pretty simple fix and that's where I would start.
Good luck, Tom

It does it about half the time, once it failed to open the gun but after dropping the hammers it opened. The lever spring seems strong. Will start with good cleaning of guts.

Thanks
