Just a tip for you guys, I wrapped about 2-2.5 turns of teflon plumbers tape around the breech end of the barrel, inserted into the plastic breech and cut the transfer port hole in the tape with an exacto blade. No more barrel wiggle. Experiment with the number of turns, make sure it goes in without stripping the tape.

Cheers

Very good!  It's a easy, inexpensive way to snug up a plastic breech and barrel band.  Good work. :-*
