M2 Forend movement?

[Hobbs]

When my Benelli M2 is fully assembled the forend has some movement. It does not slide forward or backward but it does shift or rock from side to side a bit. I am new to the benelli line and use to a tight fitting forend on a Browning. Should the forend move like this?

I agrre,for the price of the gun,they shouldn't move and rub.
Mine does too though! So does my brothers.

Thanks for the response..I guess that is normal for it then if others do it too. I really do not notice it while shooting but did find it a bit odd.

My SBE 2 has a slight rocking movement in the forearm as well......she runs perfect, but agree the fit and finish could and should be much better for the price.

Thanks for the response. Makes me feel a ltittle better about it.
