Thanks for coming in SKB!
Yes the cam/stop is loose in the knuckle, there is no obvious, visible screw as I have seen on my other SXS. This one is set into a round hole. A slot would be much easier, slip a shim in each side and test my theory.
The fit of the cam to the slot in the FE iron is good, rough measured clearance is .003". The lateral play in the FE iron/action is close to .012" determined by placing a feeler gauge alongside the FE iron and moving it laterally with the gun assembled.
The FE seems tight to the knuckle, no visible or palpable play for and aft.
The fit of the FE iron to the FE lug is also acceptable, some slight, very slight side to side play, no vertical play.
The gun passes the acceptable field test for on face, FE off no discernible play, no visible gaps, dollar bill test...
It appears to me that the cam has some bearing on the lateral play of the FE iron at the knuckle.
It certainly helps more than a bit, thanks!
