I just picked up my second M 15 357 Mag. Got it home and the ejecter rod seemed loose. I got it out with my fingers so put it back together and had a lot of end shake with it open when closed it locked up find very little movement at all. Is there a part missing that will stop it from moving when the cylinder is open or do I just not have it tight enough. Thanks for any help.

to the forum. Post some pics when you get a chance.
How loose is the cylinder when open? It would be normal to have some play (front to back) when the cylinder is open - between 1/16 to 1/8 inch. If it's more, then there may be an issue.

Look and see if the cylinder stop has been knocked out. It is the bump on the sideplate to the rear of the cylinder. If that has been knocked out the cylinder will slide off if the muzzle is pointed up while open. It wouldn't be noticed with the cylinder closed. I think I knocked one out trying to remove a stuck cartridge.
