I've seen the need for "remedial" inletting twice- once on a TC and once on a Lyman. On the Lyman the inlet for the trigger plate was very slightly too narrow in one spot up front. Scraping with an Exacto knife to remove the finish and a slight bit of wood fixed that. Note that I said scraping rather than cutting. Could have done just as well with a needle file.
On the TC the inlet for the trigger plate was too deep aft, causing the plate to settle too far for clean function. I tried a shim first to confirm, then set the plate slightly higher with a permanent fix.
Between the two jobs, I bet I didn't have a whole half hour invested.
