Title says it all, also anyone have any input on the long-term durability of that system?
Thanks

All these do is egg out the holes in your lower and made you a wannabe.
Scott,
Thats what I figured, thanks for the heads up.
If you feel you need to take up the play you can use an accuwedge.
If you feel it is something you must have call Jared as he has some trick shit in the mill now that is going to have a screw in the grip (IIRC) that will tension to the upper.

Good luck
The last thing I want in a lower is another moving part that can cause problems. I would actively avoid a lower with this feature unless it was for a competition only rig. And even then, why bother with nonsense?
"If you feel you need to take up the play you can use an Accuwedge."
The idea for the screw through the bottom of the grip boss pressing up on the rear of the upper originally came from Camp Perry National Match competitors trying to minimize or eliminate upper/lower fit wobble. I don't know of anyone who still does it (the military teams don't).
You get a steel screw pressing up on anodized aluminum and you're going to get wear that requires you to periodically check/tighten the screw as it digs a hole into the bottom of the upper.
I know the Sun Devil lowers have the tension screw, and they are a very nice lower with an exceptional finish,
I have a few sun devil and AZ Armory lowers (made by sun devil) and I've played with the screw a bit - IMHO it doesn't help anything - it just makes it harder to pop the rear pin when separating the upper and lower. I just took the screws out.
