If you wiggle and waggle the end of your barrel lightly how much play do you have. (and no funny answers please from those with warped minds as there are under 17s on this site.)
Also is your barrel loose enough to turn by hand a little.

If you can rotate the barrel at all the grub screws that hold it in position could be loose have 'em checked, but don't over tighten as the blocks alloy and the steel screws could damage the threads. This is a common but not serious fault with Harriers and a few other makes too.

I noticed the little bit of wiggle; just enough to feel it move in the clamp. Screwing on a logun silencer appears to 'take up' that movement in the up/down axis (ie the weight of it) and required an elevational click or four to re-zero. I didn't know if this was unusual...after a phone call to Lynn at Daystate I found out that it wasn't.

It makes it quieter than a shy mouse stifling a f*rt through thick corduroy trousers, though <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->

As the others say nothing to worry about.
