The front handguard of my M1 Garand appears to be loose. The handguard does not move laterally in the direction along the barrel, but rather up and down (perpendicular to the barrel).
Is this a normal result of the wood shrinking?
Can or should the front handguard be shimmed or otherwise repaired?
Is repair even possible, or is the only option replacement?
My preference is to leave the Garand as I received it from CMP.
Thanks,
