Other than the usual pre-requisites such as use the correct sized screwdriver it is a pretty simple disassembly.  The looseness can be caused by the tenon block loose in the barrel dovetail but is more likely simply wood shrinkage.  Both are easily correctable.

Hi Jeff,

The usual sources seem to be out of stock but I would try calling Wendel at Outback Gun Parts, he usually has a good assortment of Winchester odds and ends.  http://www.outbackgunparts.com/index.html

You might try shimming it first with some thin brass shim stock.  That should work for quite awhile.

Best Regards,

for shim material- just find or buy a cheap feeler guage set

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
