The reason folding single-shots don't shoot loose is that they don't get shot very often. I have one of the Beretta 20ga folding guns and NEVER shoot it. Just can't find any use for it. I thought when I bought it, since it was so light I'd throw it over my shoulder whenever I went out without hunting being the purpose. Mine's still tight so I'm thinking previous owners never shot it either. JMHO of course...Geo
