Hi. Thanks for your comment. I am aware that would be the correct way to go about it but the guns really not worth doing that to. Oddly enough the hinge area doesn't seem to be where "most" of the slop is coming from, its more the surfaces about that. I guess it probably all starts with wear on the hinge though.
When i get some spare time I'll have a play and see what i can do.
Thanks
