The 500 forened rattles for a reason- the two action bars are pinned to the forend tube with one pin- so the two action bars wobble in their slots.

You could add an extra pin to prevent the wobble, but it doesn't affect functioning. Next time you pass the used rack in your local gunstore, check out an Ithaca 37, or a Wincester Model 12.
