Such a thing?

[kamlooky]

Picked up an O/U that needed a bit oh TLC.
Had a firing pin made up for it and found better f/p return springs.
Cleaned it up and fired some rounds down the pipes.
Works pretty decent for a jawber shewtsgun.

Now the thing that has drawn me attenshun is the bawrill release lever.
Pusher to the right and the bawrills flawp open.
They will not snap shut.
One must pusher over to the right a wee bit to allow the locking tab
to clear the nawtch.

Dizz me normal?

Oh, it's stamped Lanber.
Knee 12-75.

Play safe yewawll..................

There's a hold open catch inside, however I can't remember where it is on a Lanber. It can break. It's an easy repair in most cases especially if parts are still available. Although I'd check out the top lever spring, it might be weak.

It's all working fine.
One does need to move the release lever over a smidge to close up the action.
Nature of the beast.
