I have a Magnum .52 and the carb that came on it was jacked up right out of the box, the barrel stop didn't work, it just let the barrel slide right out of the body.
Sounds like you were merely missing the carb lock screw, that performs two functions. It limiits how far the barrel will close and it prevents the barrel from, falling out.
No, the screw was there, the barrel had some defect in the cutting of the slot that the screw rides in and when it was adjusted correctly it would let the barrel slide out.
