    This is my first post because I am generally a "lurker". I have found that I learn more by reading or listening to others than posting or talking. I am not advertising for ArmaLite. I simply posted an option to help others who may be as dogmatic about excessive receiver play as I am. This is just an option without placing a foreign object inside the receiver. I recently completed a build that the upper and lower receivers had more wobble than what I like. These pins tightened it up.

    Sounds to me like shady advertising on Armalite's end.
    FWIW, I would vote Armalite as among the least likely to do shady advertising across the entire industry. They do about the least self-promotion of anyone.

    I do wonder if using these pins will, over time, enlarge the receiver holes so you could not use standard pins if you wanted to.

    Need to work on the "learn more" bit, I think.

    Additional widgets to reduce upper to lower play are a benchrester tweak, not something that belongs on a combat carbine, I think. For one thing, anything that makes it more difficult to split the upper and lower halves is bad ju-ju.

    My Colt 6724 came from the factory with that stupid "Accuwedge". I had to use a punch to tap the pins out of the lower, I thought I was going to have to send it back because the lower was miss machined like a Bushamster I looked at one time. I really don't see the point in it and it does make it VERY annoying to get the upper off.

    I AM! I AM! Haha

    Thank you for the info. I may elect to do nothing about the play, but if I do somewhere down the road I've got those links bookmarked.

    Please read a little more before posting. Play b/w the upper and lower is of no consequence. The Accuwedge, and any other item or fix for play, is money pissed down the drain.
