A barely perceivable side to side wiggle with the forend off is nothing to run to the gunsmith about.....especially on a field grade hunting gun....
It's the ridiculous inference you were making about gunsmiths getting rich that a few of us objected to. Not whether the OP has a real problem or an easily fixed problem. Have you ever met a wealthy gunsmith who earns his living by fixing guns?
If he has a side hustle?
