John,
just my experience. If the gun is on face and no wiggle when closed with the forearm off, the hinge pin is fine.
If you have excessive play when the gun is open only, this is a case of the tension of forearm which keeps tension between the forearm lug on the barrels and the knuckle of the frame, not being correct.
I hope that made sense
, but that is the way my gunsmith explained a similar problem I had to what I believe you're experiencing.
