Default Frog Face Misalignment in new Stanley #4

I just bought a new Stanley #4 and after sharpening, noticed that the
Frog bed was substantially misaligned to the right. It required the
full swing of the lateral adjustment lever to compensate - thus
negating any real value to that lever. I know I'm not dropping $350
for the tool (okay, maybe just $40), but I would expect a little better
QC than that. Has anybody experienced this type of problem in the newer
Stanleys?

I haven't had the frog off a Bailey that was any newer than about the
early 60s, but if they haven't changed the design, you should be able
to just loosen the 2 frog hold down scres and center the frog on the
bed.
