I received a 28 gauge Repro from Ward's Auction with the lever locked to the right. In shipping it was bent so it rubbed on the top tang when released. I gently bent it back so that it barely cleared the tang. I will not use the "I" word to describe the people at Ward's, but the are "I"s, since they sell thousands of guns and should know how to pack them. I thought about warning them about this problem before they shipped, but I thought they would know better and never contacted them. I have no idea how I would have handled it if the lever had broken. I am looking forward to hearing about the repair of a Repro lever and its possible cost. Dave Moore, can you tell us who performed the repairs you mentioned?
