The sideways receiver wobble on my MP40 is starting to become very, very distracting.

Does any one have a permanent fix for this?

Thanks.

Drilling and tapping the rear of the receiver and the rear endcap and putting a screw down through it seemed to tighten mine up a bit, still has a bit of give in it after that though!

Excuse my crap parts nomenclature again if you can Graeme :-P

Is that the part of the gun above the battery compartment where the top and bottom meet then? Would the screw not be visible at the top of the gun?

I think the problem with the gun is that the locking tab behind the magwell that connects the top and bottom of the gun isnt wide enough. There is a good few mm of play between either side of it and the walls of its housing.

A few months ago I actually cut a custom sheet of metal and wedged it in between the tab and its housing, the part was a little wider than the tab. It stopped sideways movement for a while but now its magic has worn of and the gun is in jelly mode again :(
