Hunting & Fishing Mossberg question

Just bought a new Mossberg 500 today. The deer/turkey combo in realtree AP camo. Got home from my dealer and found out the rear sight on the slug barrel is jacked up. It has about a 1/2 play in all directions. I'm not talking about the adjustments. The whole Williams sight moves. I have never had a problem with a new firearm but I am assuming I have to deal with the manufacture. So my question is has anyone had this problem and how is Mossberg's customer service. I am pretty bummed out because I planned on using it next weekend for out bonus 2 days shotgun weekend in Ohio. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Re: Mossberg question

Yea I am going to try and swap it out this week. I took the elevation ramp off and tried tightening the lower piece to the barrel better. I really have to put a lot of ass into it to keep it from having any play, and when I crank it down the right side wants to raise up off the barrel. I was anxious about using it next weekend for our extended gun season but it looks like old faithful will have to do.
