Mr Humburg, you be careful around the women in your family when they are within skillet striking distance. Mr. Humburg is out in rural Ness County, Kansas, where a skillet bashing incident is sure to make the headlines in the weekly paper and cause the sheriff to leave the warmth of the Good Eats coffee shop.
The up and down looseness is called "loose on the face" , the face being the standing breech face of the action frame. If its just a little play, let it go until it gets worse in the next 20 years or so. If its a lot of play, you need to get it fixed by a good gunsmith welding a bit of added metal into the lug locking bite, then filing to fit. Its not something you should do yourself unless you are skilled in small part machining and the nearest gunsmith I know that is capable of that is Michael Alee in Overland Park, Johnson County, Kansas.
Good luck and keep out of the kitchen.
