Default New Clutch Master Cylinder 'catches' when pushed all the way

Just installed a new OEM CMC to replace my aging/leaking one and bled it properly after bolting it in. The pedal catches something when it's pushed in nearly all the way to a point where it kinda pops back out. It feels as though there's a lip on the inside where the plunger travels.

To add, I have a SoS Sport Clutch paired with an AP1 flywheel and still have the CDV in a stock AP2 slave cylinder. I have the SoS stainless clutch line as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

i'd probably try this and see if that fixes the problem:

I had almost the same feeling on mine. One thing to add to that procedure is don't let the slave fall out too far to leak fluid, either have an assistant or something else to secure it, to avoid air getting into the line.

I've had this for many years, I have identical clutch setup as you and brand new Slave/Master. It sill catches at the bottom a little. It sucks.
