They probably get shot a good 50 rounds or so each month.
With accuracy like that, I'd leave them alone. Also, 50 rounds per month is not a whole lot of shooting, especially considering that you are using mild ammo.

By the way, just how much end shake are talking about? Seems to me end shake of 0.003" or less is considered acceptable.
