Sorry I have been away! Thanks for the response!

Takedown lever spring sure sounds right. It is a small wire like spring that pushes up on the lever to keep it from turning down (opening) while not under pressure (like when firing).

There are two small holes in the bottom and right side of the receiver where the ends protrude or nub.

It's a nice shooter I'm considering having restored so I'll take your advice on used original or new.

I'll drop an email to the doctor.

Thanks! What a site!
