Machining marks

If you look at the very first picture at the top of this string and a couple farther down, you can see a gap between the rear toggle link "shoulders" and the receiver ramps. (Not the frame ramps.) This gap should not exist as the back thrust is supposed to be transmitted to the receiver at this point. With a misfit resulting in a gap at this point the backthrust is transmitted to the rear toggle pin. Is this misfit due to sloppy work at the factory or due to an indifferently fitted replacement toggle link? If the latter it could have been replaced anywhere along the line.

The pistol will work with this gap but there is an unintended stress on the rear toggle pin. In the picture I cannot see the other side. Can the pin be removed and reinserted with the cannon cocked?
