    with the forearm off, should there be sideplay with the bbl on the receiver?
    yes/no.
    if no, what is the fix?

    There really shouldn't be. While there are several potential causes for side play between the barrels and receiver. If it's occurring on a gun that was previously tight, then the most common would be wear on the hinge pins or mating surface of the mono block.

    There were some other problems associated with the older lite weight receivers, hopefully you're not referring to one of those.
