So i just acquired a new barrel for my 10/22 build and it drops in with almost no friction at all to one of my receivers and there is noticeable wiggle in another.

Most of the other barrels i have fit to either receiver have been snug enough to require tapping with a mallet.

Is this aomething to worry about? Shud i just thread lock the v block bolts?

Can the tenon be thickened at all? Maybe with a few coats of paint.

Any ideas or am i making this all up in my head ??

Sounds like quite the sloppy fit. What receiver/barrel is it?

You could try one of the adjustable V-blocks from SBI or Dlask. They have a set screw that you can tighten from beneath to counteract the droop..
 
Adjustable Vblock is just for barrel droop. It will do little for your sloppy fit. As suggested by 357M I would shoot it and then decide how to proceed.
 
what is the barrel and receiver combination that is so sloppy? Do you know what they measure? All my 10/22 barrel receiver combos fit too tight.

knurling or peening the barrel shank would increase the diameter
