Loose Barrel Question

Looking for some input on something I noticed on my Mossberg MC2C.

I noticed when shooting it the other day that I was hearing a little bit of something moving around. I figured it was just some play between the slide and frame but it turned out it was the barrel moving forward and backward. This was with a round chambered in the gun and slide locked forward.

I was at my range with the barrel pointed toward the back stop so no one was in danger. I was able to put my finger on the hood of the barrel and move it forward and backward. If I push on the hood with by thumb downward there is no movement, just movement forward toward muzzle end and backward toward rear sight.

Gun shoots great no failures or accuracy issues. Just wondering if this is anything to worry about safety wise?

My perfect Glocks don't do it and neither my S&Ws or Sigs.

Thanks for any input.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

First thing I should have done was disassemble and reassemble the gun. Last time I cleaned the gun I must have put the recoil spring in a little out of wack because I just cleaned the pistol and could barely get the slide off because the recoil spring came out of place. I put it back together making sure the spring is resting in the proper groove and now zero movement in barrel. Hopefully it was just due to user error and not something that will happen again next time I shoot.

Thank you all for the quick responses.

Loose tolerances , unload gun , check again, close action slightly push back on slide point gun up with pencil in barrel , pull trigger, if the pencil jumps , return the gun , if that happens it's so bad the disconnector is not working, if pencil does not jump the safety mechanisms to protect you from out of battery firing are working.
