Take down lever question

Hi,

With a good quality spring (L-shaped, underneath the takedown lever), you can expect to have to use some moderate force to push the takedown lever in, agains the pressure of the small spring.

So one should try pushing down on the takedown lever from above, while trying to move it into the hole, that should to the trick.

Most L-springs are so worn down (as are the levers) that they slide in without much effort.
