[FONT="]Hello, I got my self into a little jam and I was hoping for some advice.[/FONT]
[FONT="]This is an old Galef/Beretta companion single barrel folding shotgun. I recently got this and it was about 20 years over due for a good deep clean. I'm having problems with the re-assembly.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The picture should help, the pin and spring, circled in green, needs to be pushed back so the takedown lever can slide in front if it. The pin/spring rests on the back of the lever.[/FONT]
[FONT="]My problem is I don't know how to keep the spring pushed back while sliding the lever down. I can push the spring back but then the punch is way so the lever would slide down. Any ideas on how I can re-assemble this?[/FONT]
[FONT="]The metal plate the level is sitting on slides forward and the lever goes through it. I slide it back to take the picture.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Thanks!!
