Recently acquired the above shotgun. The toplever doesn't return to center when closing the breech. The spring appears to be missing or broken. Don't think it's gummed-up as the lever moves freely. A cursory search reveals no exploded views available. Brownells has flat spring stock.... Dixie gunworks has a few toplever springs for Parkers.
Anybody have any better sources? Or a gunsmith who could make a spring? Thanks, Grant.

Thanks for the replies. Gunparts Inc. confirmed they have no toplever spring. The lever feels like it has a small amount of tension. Maybe the spring has taken a set. I will take the gun to a local smith, and see if he can maybe re-temper the spring.......... Grant.
