Yup mine does the same thing. There was a thread on this on what to and not to do about it, can't remember but I was quite pissed and then once I read through the post it didn't seem like it was going to affect anything other than be annoying if you were on a stealth night mission or something so I quite worrying about it.
Its in the forums someplace. You could also ask the forum sponsor here who is the importer, they seem to know everything about the XCR (seriously, called them about my bolt catch and they had the problem totally sussed and fixed in minutes).

Ah ok yes was the xcrfourm where I found the info not here. My twitchy bolt catch became more of an issue so that is what I called Wolverine about, I have not heard or seen anything from them on this, though now that it has been brought up...yea it would be nice to hear it strait from the best source other than Robarm. I guess I kind of wrote it of as something like the way most 1911's rattle, though a proper fix rather than an O ring would be nice.
Here is what i did. The oring idea wont work due to the notch that the gas tube has to go into on the gas block. It just so happens that the amount the gas tube was moving is the same as a small snap ring. I had a kit of different sizes. It slips over the gas block end and leaves the notch free enough the gas tube cannot rotate. So far so good off to shoot it this weekend.
I recall people stating the gas tubes to be hastily made . Even mine has a metal spike inside the gas tube notch. I had to shave it off for it to fit in the gas block notch . But even before that I had no problems with it sliding . And over 2000+ rounds and counting
