1918 take down lever

Also note, that besides the wounding powers of the spring, it can also wear down the lever itself. A narrow ridge should be visible on the lever, where the spring will snap into. This ridge slowly wears away during the years, the lever will develop more and more play.

Shooting with a weak take down lever/spring is kind of an experience. The pistol will dismantle itself after recoil, spreading side plate, barrel assembly and one's self esteem around the range.
