Loose barrel extension

[ineedone]

I bought a .264 LBC 1X8 SS 20" barrel back in February of 2020. Since then I've ran about 180 rounds through it. It's probably my most accurate AR. Today when I took it out to shoot it I noticed the barrel was a little wobbly. So instead of shooting it I tore it down assuming the barrel nut somehow worked its way loose. Thats not the case, the barrel extension will slightly rotate back and forth on the barrel. You can feel it by hand. The extension seems tight, like it won't unscrew, but the play in it has me concerned. What are my options here? What should I do?

No I used a wheeler claim shell block to hold the upper, areo m4e, and bedded the barrel with loctite 242. The only torque the barrel should of ever seen was from the friction of the barrel nut. It's kind of baffling to me because the extension isn't loose, like coming unscrewed, but wobbly around the barrel. There is approximately .120 play at the end of the barrel if that makes since.

That's a weird one. Give 'em a call.
