Remove the forend and hold the top lever open and also holding the barrel tightly down on the action see if there is any horizontal movement (side to side) in the barrels. If there is any movement then the gun is off face. With the forend off and the top lever closed see if there is any vertical movement (up and down) in the barrels. If there is then most likely the locking bolt is either worn or confirmation the gun is off face. Refitting the hinge often sets the barrels back far enough that the locking bolt problem is solved.
