which you manually open and close to a top lever gun. My questions is if the top lever spring wasn't there would the gun stay closed?

Its all to do with the way the bites ware .Put another way its lack of maintenance . This is why gunsmiths recommend periodic servicing of guns , frequently being able to pick up these potential problems before they cause trouble .Fairly simple job building up the bolt re-cutting the bearing faces and checking clearances between barrel wings and action ,but people do put off these things .

Bottom biting O/U's all makes can be prone to this , although I have known centre biting guns like Beretta's, have a similar problem due to looseness and excessive ware on the bite .

Isn’t the more important question- does it become a self-opener on firing?

Seasons Greetings!
