If the wear continues at the same rate, you may get another couple of years' use with shims before the collar is too worn to lock in at all.

    Either way, after seven years the machine doesn't owe you anything.
    You may be right, however, I have seen brand new EM 6910 P/F going way around to the right.
    It happened on my son's when he got a new one, I got the old one, had a blocked steam thermobloc.
    Easily fixed, once I figured out what it was, now at 10,000 shots still going strong.

      Well yes - if the machine is brand new, obviously it isn't caused by wear. I'd be returning it in that case.

        Although I would not put money on it, I think I have seen machines in shops (demo models) with the handle fitted and it is a way around to the right as well.
