Loose guard

[Wulfren]

Hello everyone, i'm looking to purchase an Ontario M9 from a local store. The story I get is that it could be an army issue, brought back w/ the owner. This same person is said to have taken the knife apart, and upon re assembly the guard wobbles. Is this a major issue? Or is there some form of bushing or shim that has been misplaced? Most importantly would it be a deal breaker?


Thank you for your time in reading this
