There is damage to your frame in this area as shown by one of your photos... I will bet the frame was dropped with the takedown lever removed at some point in the gun's life... the hole is no longer perfectly round and causes binding on the shaft of the takedown lever when you turn it. The only cure would be the VERY JUDICIOUS removal of the metal where the parts are rubbing each other...
