Default Gun won't open

So guys is that a one and done, only to happen infrequently or never again? Or is this gun going to require some Brian time to prevent it from reoccuring?

If that is as far as the top lever will travel (in the picture), then it is not enough to open the breech.
The issue likely is the safety reset slide is catching on the triggers.

Try this… with one hand, push on the back side of both of the triggers. Holding them as far forward as they will go. Meanwhile, push the top lever
And see if the gun will open.

It's an easy fix if needed. Brian could do it with both eyes closed! I usually leave one eye open. ��
