    I will echo everyone else and say the slop does not mean anything. For all the Bushy hating that goes on on alot of sites, they actually make a decent lower receiver. I have a BCM KAC build on a Bushy lower and I have no concerns at all about the reliability and durability of this setup.

    I would use one also if I couldn't get a good one anywhere else.

    Well, I had my second day out with the DD and Bushy combo. This time I used the lower from a Varminteer Rifle. I sold the upper off months ago. The lower has a fancy Hogue grip, two stage trigger and actually married to the DD very well. No issues.

    Receiver slop

    Anecdotal reinforcement of what previous posters in this thread have stated...

    Slop isn't a bad thing in an AR.

    Here in the frozen north , Wisconsin, patrol rifles get iced up a lot!

    A "less then perfect" fit allows ice and snow to be knocked out of the receivers and mag well without having to disassemble the weapon.

    A "perfect" fit would mean,, to me at least,,, that the weapon could and would potentially malfunction due to ice/snow/rain/dirt under less then perfect range condition.

    Heck, could be talkin out my kazoo.. YMMV

    I have an older "ban era" Bushmaster 16" that I recently sold off the upper on. I bought a BCM 16" mid-length to replace it. The upper and lower have just a hint of play between them; about what I would term ideal.
