    Is the loading gate loose? It will loosen up and jam the lever in the open position.

    Below recommendation is for transportation purposes only:

    After checking the receiver area for a jammed cartridge, gently place downward pressure on the "elevator" (the part that raises the next bullet to be fired) while, at the same time, exerting a gentle downward, then upward push on the lever. If the bolt closes, then take it in for a professional look-over. Best, Joe

    EDIT:
    correction to terminology
