Hello all. I have a new Mossberg M590A1 shotgun and decided to get a bayonet for it. I got a surplus Vietnam era M7 bayonet off ebay and it came today. I attached it, but it seems very loose. It rotates on the lug badly and rattles a whole lot. The bayonet does not come off no matter how hard I shake it so it's on there, but is not snug to say the least. Here is a video I took:

I am wondering if this is normal for this bayonet to be loose on a M590A1 shotgun? Should it lock up tight? Are some M7 bayonets looser than others, should I worry?
If anyone could help, that would be great. I spent over $40 for the bayonet and scabbard and plenty on the shotgun so if anything is wrong, I want to know. Thank you so much.
