No problem, some are just harder to open than others.

I'm guessing you mean hard to open because it needs to be pushed far over to the side before the barrel breaks right?

I have a Savage model 430 20 gauge just like it, you have to push it far to either side before it breaks. I took it to my smith who looked at it and handed it back saying "thats just where it opens, can't do anything about that or it won't lock up tight if I take metal off the block". So I went with what it's like.
