How to attach top lever 1894/1900 ?
I am restocking a 1894/1900 SXS for a friend who gave me it in pieces. How do I install the top lever? The spring prevents it from tightened down. thank you.

It's been a while since I've had one apart but as I recall the top lever is installed before the spring is installed.

I use a small needle nose vise grips to compress the spring. It goes in after the lever is installed.

Thank you, I did get it in, that is what I used.
I was just too afraid of over compressing the spring and breaking it.
