Different blade stopper???

[Achilles23]

I sent in my mini cqc15 to emerson for some touch ups and when I got it back I noticed the blade stopper on the back was a beigeish gold color and it slightly moves when the blade is not locked or closed. Is this a new material and method emerson is using or just a different color? Anybody else notice this?

It's probably a larger diameter stop pin, which is sometimes the fix for lock up issues. The stop pin is free floating, and will rattle a tiny bit - it's supposed to rotate so the blade isn't always hitting in the same spot.

= longer life for the knife.
