Yes! With the plastic (baekolite) bottom it is both correct to be loose and probably desirable! As the are very fragile with age, and will not stand any presure or abuse! The rivit is quite different then the aluminum bottom fxo, (DON"T TRY TO REMOVE THE RIVIT!!) and sometimes (very rarely!) is expanded so slightly that it can be removed without breaking the bottom! DON'T TRY TO REMOVE THE RIVIT!!, you will, most likely, break the bottom!!! The rivit in the Aluminum bottoms are impacted so hard, that it usually forms the ears of the bottom right up tight against the mag shell... Don't worry about the looseness, it's OK! till...later...G.T.
