Western Airguns Western Sidewinder .25 Cal Magazine Lock Pin Issue.

I own a sidewinder compact in .25 cal got it new about 3 months ago and the magazine locking pin is really stiff even with the magazine removed and no tension on it its still stiff when you lock it to the rear. Is there a fix to make it a bit easier and smoother to manipulate?
