Sorry David, I don't think that your suggestion will really work because wouldn't the force of the first time the toggle is caught by the holdopen will slam the spring back to the forward position?

It appears that the holdopen and the well surface it rubs against requires some careful filing/tweaking/polishing to solve this issue.

Either that, or it may require a replacement holdopen. Is this holdopen number matched to the gun?
