Exactly how is it loose, Randy?

There is a few thousands inch play in the locked/unlocked direction. Not left to right. When pressure applied to top of chambers so that fully closed, soot test results as above. The crossbolt does not pull the top rib down far enough. Loose contact between rib hole and bolt, when barrels closed.
