I don't know...that looks larger than a takedown lever spring...It looks to me like the head of a finishing nail...

Easy way to tell (since yours sticks up so much)...a takedown lever spring will mike ~.062" ...if yours mikes out substantially more than that, then don't try to remove the takedown lever...Come back here and one of the experts will tell you how to proceed...

If it is ~.062", then you're good to go...

It does look pretty nice...how about a side view of assembled pistol, so we can admire the Tikkakoski barrel???
