OP Little Creek Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 672 Likes: 14 Alaska	I picked up a couple of American doubles that have just a very small amount of side to side play in the barrels when the forend is off (none when the forend is on.) I mean they are off by about .001. Should these guns be tightened soon? They will be used mainly for hunting with modern but moderate loads, and of course clay targets for practice occasionally. Whadda ya think based on your own experience with similar situations?
