dju - I tried cycling the toggle with and without the magazine (safety off). Same amount of effort. I haven't live fired it yet and maybe not ever. I have dry fired it multiple times and it fires OK.

gunbug - I cleaned and oiled it but didn't feel any difference cycling the toggle. When I had it stripped down I tried to actuate the recoil spring by hand and found it hard to move upward.

mrerick - the little hooks appear to engage properly. you mentioned the "disassembly locking bolt at the front of the frame is properly installed, and not binding or blocked when in it's horizontal position.
There is a little flat slightly "L" shaped spring that holds it in the operate position. I'm not sure what you mean by this could you sent me a pic?
Again, thanks all
