Military blade play

I sent my military back for repair a 3 weeks ago. The liner
lock would engage over half way past the tang and slip
around a little bit causing play. I got it back last week
and it looks like they put a new liner in it. Now the blade has a small amount of play. You can feel and hear it clicking. If i put inward pressure on the liner there is no play but the liner won't stay there.
Am I being to picky here? This is the first liner lock I have owned and it just gives the knife a cheap feeling with that play. Any other military owners experienced similar problems? Or is some blade play inherent with liner locks?
It is the s30v version and i have had it about a year.

Thanks

I had a similar issue, but all I did was tighten the screw on the pivot and has fixed the problem. It takes some playing around, as you can make it too tight, and then it will be difficult to open. But you should be bale to fix the play with a little tinkering.
