Another great loss!
Prayers for his family & friends

I had one I had used for about 20 years and it broke. Now I'm more careful and lightly bounce the hammer and it works. I think I had beat on it a little too hard for many years.

After 10 years, the gun will need more than cleaning - but cleaning is always a good start.
The listed link covers the exact situation you are seeing. -
Normally they have a lever action rifle caliber stage. The 30 30 is fine for that. If they have a Black Powder category, it would most likely work there as well.
We nearly always have a pistol caliber lever action event so that is where the 44 works great.

There is a shooting range in Newnan, SW side of Etlanta that will teach them.
Where do they live?-

A good hatter has that strange looking hat fitting device - looks like it came from a torture chamber. Then the hat can be made just for your head. Most often times, a good hatter can make a "proper" sized hat and stretch/mold it to fit our strange heads - some heads are rounder, some oblong, long-oblong, etc.

Plus one for Marauder. I kind of thought that the forward locking lug looked odd. It clearly is not providing any lockup in its current state. I wonder if it got peened that way due to the opening on firing issue or if it came that way from the factory. Or if purchased used, some prior owner decided to solve some perceived problem by buggering up the lug. Any way, I'm embarrassed that I didn't mention it before.
Rev. Chase
Sometimes they are not great when new, but generally because the latch does not go in far enough, there is not enough surface area to hold - thus it wears. When you extend the lock, it significantly increases the life of the lock up. If you weld it up as johmeir is doing, it is MUCH harder and will out last the rest of the gun.

(Larsen, that's for the great explanation and photos.)
johnmuir The bottom photo is great. It shows that your system is doing pretty well for the proper length, better than many.The problem is the wear - look at the downward curve of the locking surface. It needs to be straight. So you are in luck and can have a great, strong gun once more.
So you need to find a good welder. Have them weld up that curve. Then you can file it down to a good level surface and the locking will be good and will not require a strong spring at all.

Didn't shoot the state match. Not ready for prime time yet, but I'll be there next year ready or not. I won't really knowwhere I am until I start playing with the big boys.
Never let that stop you. The first year I shot SASS, I was also sorta intimidated so I missed a wonderful time at Round-Up.
Remember it is abut fun and friendships as well competition. As you shoot more you will generally improve. Your primary competition is not so much other shooters as it is yourself - getting smoother and maintaining accuracy.

Some thing to consider.
At my stage of life, a lifetime warranty doesn't mean as much to me.
Plus my home windows have a lifetime warranty, but the company went under while with windows were in great shape.

Texas Maverick, the obvious solution is to buy a 1050. You know you wanted one anyway, right?

You should Never touch shotgun shells. They are very dangerous and should only be handled by professionals...
Such as the not-so Secret Service??

I find it almost funny that security is so strongly emphasized but we are generally not allowed the more secure methods ourselves - one of which is a VPN. Many websites want to look into my computer for their protection, thus decreasing my protection.
So 2 factor is sorta helpful but it reminds me of "duck and cover" during the 1950's to some extent.
What about those without a cell phone! (I know, I can usually use my email.)

So sorry to hear of a great loss.

Cat has them up on the website.
Not here:

Have the scores been posted?

My experience matches Concho Billy's. But I have to send to an FFL and pay a reasonable fee to them. So often times, I can get almost the same deal from a local FFL, thus easier and help local folks.

A general rule is as match difficulty increases, you will first see an increase in misses, then an increase in Procedural s. That is true for the weather conditions as well as the match design.

Safety?

Hint, to avoid that, just hold the front part of the shotgun so you have better control of the barrels.
