Looking at a new Colt SP6920 the upper wiggles, same with a S&W M&P15. I picked up a RRA Operator and it was tight and solid. It made me wonder if these Colts are made to looser specs perhaps desired by the military. Seems like the Colt are the standard by which all others are judged and is sometimes referred to as top tier. Just seems strange that ArmaLite and RRA would have tight fitting receivers and not Colt. Anyone else here hate the wiggle?
