I've put the sideplate tab outside the slot more than once.

And not gotten the recoil spring lever hooks engaged with the coupling link...My 1900AE came from the seller with the hooks behind the mainspring...Took a lot of pushing, poking, and wiggling to get the cannon assembly freed...

But the pics of the mis-assembled sideplate tab make an excellent addition to the FAQ...

...Or maybe a separate thread on common mistakes???
