This is a 220 chickapee mass. and it wont lock closed , it seems the top lever has no resistance............... Ok I got it apart and looks like I need a top lever screw and a firing pin and she will be in good shape to fire it. Anyone have any parts ?

it seems that you are missing the safety push rod spring, it looks like a funny shaped wire.  it is #34 on the schematic.  the safety push rod sits atop of the firing pin and provides spring tension to the top lever.

Ok I put it together and the top lever is too tight to move the heavy spring , I pulled the pin and it seemed to be more tension on the top lever. What could be wrong with this setup ? Anyone Have an assembly diagram ? Spring seems to be way too long an not enough compression travel.

Snowpro, I hope someone can chime in with the needed advice.  I have no idea what the problem may be.  Good luck.

Thanks Garnett , I put everything together as found and it seems after looking closely the top snap arm is not making contact with the firing pin assembly when turned , so I will look into if I am missing another part or the original parts are worn or bent ?

All I can say about this now, is what I read on an internet forum sometime ago.  "When  putting parts back in the action, if a wire seems to be bent....DO NOT STRAIGHTEN IT!  It is that shape for a purpose."  Did you by any chance straighten something you thought was bent?  We are very fortunate here in Selma, Alabama.  We have 3 expert machinist gunsmiths.  I carry all my problems to them.  Good luck.

I wish I could be of more help.  Try contacting my friend Joe Summit in California.  He has posted on this site.  Maybe he could offer a suggestion as he works on his guns.  Again, good luck.
