I would : if it was my lock to resand a little in the wood channel were the lock sits before taping a lock out,the reason is if the lock plate is tight and taped or forced there good chance one day it will split a grain in the wood and start a split in the stock.I had this happen to a long time ago on a new englander stock ,I was trying to remove a tight tang and did appy a little force to the tange and did split the wood.
I have 3 flinters and all the locks sit tight but no need other then hand pressure to get the lock out of the stock
