Another Rem. 760 Question. Forend Rattle

[Jawshbawx]

So im trying to improve this old 60's 760, and I've come across an issue. The forend creates a pretty hideous rattle whenever the rifle is moved at all. I took the wood off and the action bar assembly itself seems to have some play to it around the action tube causing the action bars to rattle all the way into the reciever. The forend wood actually makes contact with the bottom of the barrel so the finish is gone in that area. Does anyone know how to tighten the pump around that action tube or have some other suggestion on how to fix this?

Not familiar with the 760

My experience with pump shotguns is quite common to have parts in the forearm rattling around. I wouldn't worry too much.

Remington's don't rattle at all compared to Mossbergs...

It's not a huge worry, it just makes enough noise to not be too suitable in the field for deer hunting etc which is a primary use for this rifle. I've also heard that forend contact with the barrel could affect accuracy.
