this is as far as it goes without having to use a a hulk grip to seat them together at which point they "snap" together.

Those are filtered at my work... maybe some of the other guys can offer an opinion. I'll look at them from home in a few hours.
Looks like a non issue to me but I prefer mine to have a snug fit.
Are you having issues when shooting?
Function test shows it to be good. I won't get a chance to fire it until next Saturday. (and yes before someone says it, rear sight is on backwards, i just threw it on and locked it with my finger to keep it together till i get ahold of my appropriate size flathead)
Get out and shoot it and it all functions well enjoy your new build. All looks fine from me from the pics. Also don't sweat the snug fit since its not like you'd need to do a speedy break down to change a trigger pack in the middle of a firefight. I have one rifle that has a very snug fit and I simply push in on the pin enough to expose enough of the other side to lift with the rim from a cartridge. Easy peasy.
No. Tight pins are one thing. If the receivers WON'T shut smoothly, there's something wrong. If the RE isn't in the right spot or the Buffer detent isn't positioned properly, there can be damage to the components of the gun.
It could also be the upper receiver's rear lug that is too wide for the inside of the lower. I'll look at the pics, and then take a pic of the buffer engagement when I get home in a while.
Another thought on this....
When you close your receivers. Are you leaving the hammer cocked? Depending on a TYPE 1 or TYPE 2 hammer... If you leave the hammer down, the firing pin can float back and hit the decocked hammer and cause hang up.
You need to either close the action on a cocked hammer, or point the muzzle down so the firing pin floats forward.
Dumb question.... Have you tried closing it without the BCG, buffer and of course spring out of the gun??
Excellent suggestion.
