    The Aimpoint I ordered for you should be arriving sometime Thursday. I also tossed in a Larue mount.

    I don't know if I'd go quite that far but it did give me the typical markm post chuckle

    My bad was super loose on my DD lower and while there was some movement of the catch in the lower the majority of the play was between the BAD and the paddle. Looks like you're getting some good solutions here but if you search I know there was another thread--can't find it on my phone right now--where other fixes were listed. JB, etc.

    My solution was to remove the bad lever. However, even though I found the wobble annoying for me it was more of a training issue. I found during reload drills sometimes I would drop the bolt with the bad, sometimes with paddle, and sometimes just stuck in the middle licking the shortbus window while I fumbled trying to decide between the two. Yes I may have been able to train through it but was easier to take it off--which yes fixed the wobble

    I went with the unit made by Tactical Link. It's a two piece design with three screws total and has no wobble at all.

    Mine is tight on my G&R lpk which I think uses LMt bolt catches. I prefer the 1 piece phase 5 though..........

    I was able to find some button head hex screws. They are the same size and color as the torque screw that came with it. Its tight as a drum right now. Thanks for the advice.

    Cool, glad it worked. I forgot about those button head screws. I had bought some of those at the same time, but elected to use the cap head ones because of common wrench size. Glad that did the trick for you.
