I also ground the bolt catch 'tab' on the carrier down a bit because it was smashed and worn down inward to like a 45° angle. Hopefully the electrical tape holds up - I don't want it to be any more permanent than tape, since I'm hoping t_hum's bolt carrier will work without needing shims.
It's just too bad only you two responded to my question. I mean come on, no one else took the 30 seconds to check? Sigh...

Mine has similar play to yours, I just keep it heavily oiled though and it seems to be performing fine. Been busy with a VSR-10 project gun I just got to really keep up with this thread lately.
