Thanks Lee. This was a problem that I did not want to jump right in like usual, but took the time to come up with options before I went to work. I polished the base of the bit and cannot see any damage. Since I had to raise the quill, couldn't figure out a way to engage the quill in a vise. To me, it looked like the top latch could have bent by using it to lift the quill, plus it extends beyond the quill. For those not familiar with the top latch of these top-break guns, see below.
I received the ejector rod from merl67 and installed it to find the revolver works exactly as it should, so a little Ren Wax and some sunlight, I will post some after images.
