William, wiggle at the hinge is not a major concern unless it affects closing of the action. I have seen cases where this sideplay can cause the dollshead extension to loosen, or cause uneven wear on the barrels at the reciever. This is easy to spot by wear marks from closing. If the play is excessive, we fixture a set of lugs that are undersize. We then carefully compress the reciever until it is tight on the fixture lugs. At this point the original lugs will close hard, requiring stoning and sanding to a perfect fit. This will eliminate 100 % of the wiggle. Again I don't recomend this if the barrels are tight on face and there is no uneven wear.
