I am also beginning to understand the gun mechanisms better. I noticed that comments were made about the toggle not being locked and properly seated and i have fixed that. The was a pin that was slightly misaligned in the toggle mechanism that was causing it to hang up and not close completely. I was able to move that pin back in place and voila' it now is completely closed.

I have also attached additional photos as requested and I hope these are clear and focused for you. If anyone needs another photo other than what I have attached just let me know and I'll do my best to get that to you.

Thank you all once again for your assistance!
The original toggle latch would have held the "pin" you pushed back in place; obviously the maker of the replacement did not realize this "dual" purpose served by the latch.
