Just bought a new reproduction M1 carbine. Before I call Inland Mfg. I will ask here first. When pulling the trigger I would feel something moving besides the trigger. Turns out that if I grab the rear sight that I can jiggle the action in the receiver. So I tightened the only screw I could find and it made no difference. Upon disassembly, the screw I was tightening is a clamp screw and the clamp comes up short of making contact with the receiver.
Question #1. Can I assume that this clamp is supposed to actually clamp the action securely and not be loose?
Question #2. Would a fix be to put shims under the clamp?
Thanks
