I just got 2 brand new AR's, a Match Colt and a Match Bushmaster. I just put accu-wedges in both and they still have the same wiggle to them as my Armalite with over 1000 rounds through them. Is this normal? (No accu-wedge in the Armalite...no room for one).. Or what else can I do to stiffen them up?
Buy a Sabre Defence...no wiggles and no accuwedge needed :cool:Quote:

If it really gets to you, a JP pin might do better than the accuwedge.
An Accuwedge can break apart and cause major havok. The wiggle wont hurt anything.
If you use it enough that Sabre is going to eventually get wiggle. The only good way to avpoid it is to buy a Sundevil lower.Quote:

just wondering because i run a couple accuwedges (one of them trimmed smaller to make it fit)
Not hundreads but I have seen one piece break off and get caught in the FGC it took the gun down.Quote:

No, No, No
They go into the trash immediately and the owner gets an ass chewing.
:rolleyes:
A little wiggle is normal. I find a lot of wiggle annoying.
When I build an upper, I purchase multiple upper recievers from multiple vendors and test fit on the lower. I choose the best one and sell the rest off.
It only costs me a few bucks more but keeps my BRDOCD in check.
+1 to the no accuwedge
ya. i only run them in my higher count fun guns. i know the rattle doesn't effect anything...just a preference matter.Quote:

My take on it is if you are a competitive shooter and you use the check weld and nose on charging handle, wiggle can be bad. Particularily the wiggle you describe that is even too great for an accuwedge.
It may not be your lower but could be the upper, or a mixture of both. If you have a mic, then mic them up and see which one it is.
Don't know why, but the wiggle is almost always in the upper.

During the 9/11 rush, Bushmaster sent me a totally unacceptable complete upper for my preban lower (in more ways than just fit) and they were kind enough to pick out a very tight one for me when they replaced it.
