Iver Johnson 410 barrel relase
This little single shot 410 went through the Coffeyville flood, hence the pitting. Trying to get it shootable, if not pretty. The barrel release lever goes past the point where it should stop, and blocks the hammer from cocking. It looks like there might have been a roll pin protruding just far enough to stop it from going too far, as pointed to by the arrow in the picture.
My question is, how do you align the barrel release lever? Is there a pin that stops it in place? Something else? I appreciate any advice here.

There is no roll pin in that area. In fact there are none that go down through the tang. All pins that hold this gun together are located in the side of the receiver. They hold the hammer, the trigger and the firing pin in place. Remove the butt stock to see what is holding things up.
The butt stock can be removed by removing the butt plate which will expose the stock crew. Remove the stock screw and the mechanism will be exposed. It makes things eaiser if you can remove the forearm and barrel. That gun's in bad shape.0 -
Thanks for your input,Ned.
The gun is in horrible shape, cosmetically. I've had several of these guns. There was more than just water in that flood.
I've had the stock off. The problem isn't something in the way, it is that the release lever travels too far back in the closed position. The rod that pulls the barrel lock back, is in the way of the hammer, at that point, and won't allow it to cock. If you move the lever over to where it should be, it cocks fine, but this is a bit inconvenient.0 -
Go to Numrich Arms website and view the parts (pic) of the Champion shotgun. Then with stock off, try to find/ID the release lever parts. It's possible you may see the problem. IMO likely rust or rusted thru part. 0
