I have put together a 12g lefever nitro from a basket case gun shop find and have discovered that I must be missing some hardware that holds the return spring for the barrel locking lever. I do have the spring, Can someone Please show me a drawing or schematic of the missing piece. If someone would have this part for sale that would be better yet. I have an old repro of a parts list and dont see a part for that hole in the first pic which engages the barrel lock. Thank You!
As you are probably aware the LeFever Nitro was made by Ithaca Gun Company.
These are pictures of a Flues Model Ithaca Double. The parts you are looking for are, if not interchangeable, very, very similar.

You have my attention.
Thanks scb holding the spring back while trying to thread that screw was almost as tough as setting the main springs. I have it up and running now ready for some cowboy shootin. Thank you
