How much play is there supposed to be in the op rod/charging handle? It seems that in mine there is a little bit of wiggle and I am able to move it around slightly. Is this a big deal/problem? I feel like there needs to be a little play but not sure.

Pull it out and mic the tab to be sure. Measurements should be new at:

Width = .330 (-.010)
Height =.320 (-.003)
Thick = .100 (-.005)

Mine all measure between 0.092 ~ .095", I've seen thicknesses as little as 0.07" tab working fine.
