Jim, to be sure we aren't misunderstanding each other, is the locking bolt the spring loaded pin which is housed in the under-lug?

If it is, it will have to extend further in order to engage the recess in the center pin.

There is a hole in the under-lug just forward of the pin's housing. I have squirted Rem-Oil and air in it and the pin moves freely, under spring tension, but will protrude no more than 1/8".

It almost seems that the center pin is not long enough to engage the pin rather than vice-versa. jd
