They aren't needed however I don't care for some of the slop I have experienced with some AR's over the years. I don't use the accu wedge since I don't like how it fits near the FCG and makes take down harder. I prefer to simply slide a small O Ring over the front take down lug which gets rid of the slop, stays away from my FCG, and doesn't make take down any harder......plus its cheaper. As expected there are no increases in accuracy or reliability, however there also aren't any decreases either so I see no prob using it to fix the slop if one is bothered by it.

I've tried the O-ring thing multiple times and they always seem to break/get pinched n snap.
It's funny that some top-tier manufacturer's are now starting to "address" u/l/ slop, while other top-tier's could give a crap.
Noveske's are TIGHT. I've handled a lot of brand new KAC SR15's that are loose as a goose. It used to not bother me at all, but after you've had tight receivers, in multiple ARs, going to something something sloppy kinda grates on my OCD nerves - I kind of expect it now.
I wasn't harping on you, just trying to be clear.
Ugh man. Of course there's a "tolerance" range Colt uses. It just isn't the same tolerance range other manufacturer's have, which was my original point. DPMS also has a tolerance range they use too. And Bushmaster. And Olympic Arms. And DoubleStar. Point is, they're all different.
