Beretta 1301 barrel and recevier has a lot of play

[GasCap]

Just received a 1301 in the mail today,

while handling the gun I noticed that if I push the handguard forward and back

the barrel would move with it and leaves a gap between the barrel and the receiver

Not impressed with the quality with so much plastic.

is this normal for all 1301s guys?

Thanks

What he said. Mag tube nut must be loose.

I haven't done anything yet.
Wanted to run it by you guys before I do anything.
