OK you gun-clingers, I've got a mechanical question about the lever on a mid-seventies lever-action Marlin 30-30 I recently inherited. I want to run it by the most informed gun crowd on the web here before taking the gun to a shop. The lever does not stay up in place on it's own and droops about an inch. It wont fire until I secure it up in place with my firing hand. Is this normal? Fire away. -Wb
