I have the 24" camo model and love it. The rattle isn't a big factor to me but I'll definitely have to try the tightening thing. Thanks for the idea.

I broke mine in by goose sneaking. Unloading 4 - 3½" BBB's at snowgeese up close and personal for two days. The gun never faltered. Should have seen my shoulder on Monday morning, though. [:@]
