How much, if any, should the mag be able to move forward and back in the magwell?

This is for a BW-5 clone.

One with zero, one with a lot. Doesn't bother me.

Similar story here. Some of mine are very tight, others are very loose, some are in between. All seem to work fine.

I have 2 Dakota Tacticals with no movement, though one has a little back and forth play in the mag release paddle. But as for mag well movement, none on either.

My Zenith MKE has a slight amount of forward and back wiggle on an empty mag, nothing left to right. I read someone with a real HK MP5 say that his mag would move 1/4 inch from the bottom forward and back and it was fine.
