going to recharge the magazine while it is in the gun? if no not a problem. Stripper guide does nothing for the function of a m1a.
You wont know if it a problem untill you go to mount the mount, unless you can take accurate (.001) measurments |

Looked at the instructions for the mount online and it looks like it will actually tighten that fitment. |

A lot of stripper clips are loose on M1-A's but even worse, many of them will not accept US G.I. stripper clips. I believe Springfield Armory purchased surplus stripper clips guides from Israel that were designed to accept FN-FAL stripper clips. They are way too tight to load the US made type.

Was the roll pin been removed from the guide? Normally the guide is tight in the dovetail and the roll pin makes it rock solid. A new guide is under $15. The Sadlak scope mount uses a replacement guide for the rear mount point with a threaded mounting point.

I think I'll get a new guide and pin if the slight amount of play affects the Sage mount. Still need to get the mount. |

Found out why my stripper clip guide is loose. Brass hits it when the rifle ejects spent casings.
Anyone know which parts need to be swapped on a SAI M1A to correct this? |

Usually a new regular power operating spring will fix most ejection issues. I replace mine every 1000 rounds. Could be other problems but I would try an operating spring first...then a new ejector assembly with a new ejector spring |
