The "fix" is going to cost you several hundred dollars if it can be fixed by tig welding the hook and filing back to fit. If you have to replace the bolt it will be more. It will cost you the same thing later if you just let it go till its loose with the fore-end on. With that little play, I'd let it ride...Geo
Hungry gunsmiths and collectors with too much disposable money may have different opinions.

I'd go along with George with a .001" looseness. I'd also shoot the proper pressure loads in it.

One wrap of high quality duct tape will hold it closed. Check with Red Green on the brand

I find that if you have a gun that is on the margins of loose, a healthy dose of hinge pin grease on the bearing surfaces, forend iron, hooks, bites, etc. typically will put it back on face for about 100-200 rounds per application.
Your mileage may vary but it is the least violent solution to a growing problem. (albeit growing slowly over time)

Go with a shim! Maintains the integrity of the hook. Chops

I don't get it: Why not just fix it now?
If it's a nice gun, it deserves it.
It's not going to get any better or cheaper to repair.

Mr.Newbern to slur others just because they have different opinions is BULLSHIT.

scotch tape the triggers so you won't shoot it and get it fixed That sounds good

I'm with OWD on this one. It's a bit like 'How much clunking should I accept from my engine before I decide to change the oil'. If it sounds like it needs sorting out - do it before it gets worse. You will have to do it anyway.
