The second mechanism of failure was actually two breaks in plates at the leading edge of the lockplate. One was the area that holds the spring to the tumblers powering them. Under this there is a guide plate that allows this union to be guided as it moves powering the tumbler. I would post photos if my security clearance can be elevated and I have access to that intel. The gunsmith now tells me he was able to fix this. I will add this to the list of things to be thankfull for and keep the other names as resources!
