That makes sense. I suppose the first step will be to strip the lever work and get a good look at everything. If relieving the top of the spindle doesn't work, it sounds like I'll be stuck sending it off since welding is not in my skill set yet. Either that or live with some play in the lever.
As for the hitch, I wonder if it is also related to the sloppy lever to spindle fit. I feel it even when the barrels are off, as in the video in the post. If I understand you correctly, the catch should only be present when the knocked up lumps are in place, if that's the problem.
Thanks for your help thinking through this. Any reason that you can see that I shouldnt use the gun in the meantime?
