It would seem to me that if DD is following their normal process by hand fitting the take down pins, they are following their processes. From what the Sid Sleuths have found on internet searches, it is apparent that this is a 'trademark' (if you would) of Daniel Defense.
This is what the OP said: Funny thing, the upper locks up near perfectly with my lowers. Not too tight, but no wiggle. Think I should contact Daniel Defense about this? Or is this just chipped finish? I don't really care about the latter.
Later post: I talked with DD and they said they do indeed hone pivot pin holes for a good fit.
Seems the process works. Probably meets some ISO 9001 bullshit to boot.
