Bergwerk,
No that is incorrect. The locking lever can certainly be rotated to both open and closed positions with the frame stripped. There is a small wire spring under it that retains it in each position by riding in a groove on the bottom of the shaft... You must overcome the resistance of the spring in this groove in order to move it.
If you cannot rotate the lever to the closed position with the upper assembly off of the grip frame, then you may have partially moved the lever shaft from right to left and the locking block on the shaft may be in the insertion hole for the lever thus preventing movement.
