Just received socom sten mag block and tried it in the socom receiver I am building into 9mm.  It has a loose fit not bad, but I want a rock solid fit.  What is the best way.  Roll pin side to side or possibly a anterior posterior recessed bolt thru the block into the trigger area?  Any ideas?  Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it too much (ESPECIALLY if it is on a Pre-ban lower), the looseness should not affect function.  

The Sten mags tend to be a bit sloppy in the mag well anyways.  Luckily, the Oly 9mm system is reliable and isn't finicky about that stuff like some AR15 uppers are.

I second what Glockamolee says.  Don't worry about it.  It will function fine.  I love my Oly 9mm.  I have it on a RRA lower and it functions perfect.  

Don't worry about the wobble.

I just got my Oly upper in today. I noticed the same thing with the mags.  I have to say that I only had ONE misfeed on the very first round.  After that, it was nooooo problem at all.  One would think that with the looseness that there would be problems-no such issue here.
