I don't believe so, Bill. There should be a ramp on the switch mechanism
that is supposed to depress the pin as you push the cylinder into place. It
does take a fair amount of force.
Dusting the pin with graphite powder and working it up and down a few times
seems to help. Beyond that, it just takes a very firm push.
