TM SR-16 metal barrel wobble

I just installed a guarder one piece 14.5" barrel on my stock TM SR-16. The brackets that screw onto the R.I.S. do not fit this barrel, but the D-Ring hold everything in place nicely so I assume with a one piece barrel they are not needed?

The gun still has a slight wobble where the barrel meets the gun/receiver. I have hand tightened the D-Ring part to the upper receiver, but since I am torquing a metal ring onto a plastic threaded body, I am hesitant to torque it too much in fear of stripping or breaking the plastic. Is my only solution a metal body?

If I get a metal body, is it an easy swap? Will there be much modding required? I was looking at a "G&P Marine (Bulldog) Metal Body for M4 Series" at Red Wolf (LINK), but they have so many damn bodies to choose from (Type A, Type B, with accessories, without and so on). Having never done a metal body upgrade to an AEG, I am looking for some experience or knowledge please.

Thank you
