I recomend you go back to the FAQ's and read on fitting a barrel. All needed info is there!

I also recommend reading the FAQ's but if you just want to get an idea of how thick of a shim you will need to tighten that puppy up, just get an aluminum pop can or that of your favorite beverage and cut a strip wide enough to wrap around the hinge pin.
Don't overlap the the strip, but just enough to wrap completely around the pin, and then fit the barrel back onto the pin over the shim and see if she locks up, and then test it for motion.
Chances are it should lock up tight according to your description, and this is not a permanent fix by any means and it will at least give you an idea of how thick a shim you will need.
Stainless steel feeler gauges from the autoparts store are your best bet, and you have various sizes to make sure you get it right.
After that just follow the FAQ's

They'll repair it or replace the barrel, whatever is necessary, I wouldn't worry about any "stories" or other internet BS you've heard.  ;)

Thank you both for your kind words, but that is what this site is all about and what makes it great is that we can share our experiences, and also give a little back for what we've also received.

It's like that old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" which isn't exactly true, because I learn something just about every day interacting with the good folks here.

I've been helped so many times I've lost count, and I feel as I'm sure all the others here feel the same, and that is we were once in your shoes, and just being able to give back a little is gratifying to say the least, and then to hear your kind words is just icing on the cake.

Just remember one thing, and that is we are all family here, and we love it to have you stick around and learn with us, and share your experiences!

Thank you! Jimbo

When and if you send it back, you should get a 357 barrel fitted to it. You could have it as a CHRISTmas  gift.  ;D

They'll defintaly fix it.  I bought a used shotgun from a pawn shop that had a lock up problem.  I sent it to them expecting them to charge me for fixing it.  They shipped it back fixed for free.

You probably have already found out, but I will say it anyway, they wont charge you to fix it, and with you following the right procedure to get shipping authorization and all it shouldnt cost you to ship it. The extra barrel will cost; others who have had new barrels fitted recently are better at giving you an idea regarding that.
