Sounds like you have lubricant and dirt affecting things. Use great care if you take off the grips. It's easy to break them, particularly the left one, if you lift them too far off the frame before sliding them out.

Take you time, and don't get rushed.

Be sure to verify it's unloaded before you do anything with it, and keep ammo stored in another place separate from where you work on it...

The little spring in the take down lever may have broken. It's "L" shaped with part of the side of the long arm of the "L" shaved out.
