Cock loose on half and full cock

[CyrusP]

Hello. My Kibler SMR cock is loose at half and full cock. It moves both fore and aft as well as wobbles left and right.

I notice the square mortise in the cock itself is a bit loose, less than an aluminum can thickness but more than aluminum foil thickness. Should I gently peen the square mortise to tighten a bit?
Thanks in advance.

Peening would definitely work. However, with the great customer service Kibler’s has, I’d suggest calling or emailing them about it. Odds are they’ll take care of it for you.

Thanks! I did leave a message just now. I’ll wait before I peen.
