It looks like it is over ramping a bit. They should have an adjustable stop pin to remedy that. Open the blade remove the stop pin screw, then un-lock the blade and rotate the stop pin itself with your driver testing each lock face until the liner ramps at minimum flush with right side of the blade. Then with the blade open put the screw back in with blue loctite.
I didn't know this trick would change the lockup %. If it does, does that mean the stop pin is either not perfectly centered or not perfectly round?
To the OP question: no - that lockup is too late, not normal IMO.
Jimmy you are awesome! I am going to give it a go! Thank you very much!
