All you accomplish with a bunch of penetrating oil is to cause oil softening of the surrounding wood. The problem is the "knob" on the end of the lever. It snaps into place to keep the lever in the closed position and needs to be gently trimmed to allow that to happen. Bear in mind that most if not all of those guns from Nepal were manufactured in small shops by native gunsmiths using whatever metals were at hand. Gotta admit they were quite talented at making copies but keep in mind that they are NOT the same rifles as factory made in England. GW
