The cut out recess in the bottom of the main locking lever properly engages the pin in the scope mount base but it doesn't have any real tension and/or compression so I can easily flip the lever back and forth. Is this normal for short side rail mounts?? The winged screw in the middle of the mount seems to lock the mount to the base very well but it seems like the main locking lever should do more. Thanks, Eric

I suggest you take a look at a Swedish Mauser M41B mount that is also a short side rail but with an additional stop screw at the end to make the whole thing a better fix
