    I have a better answer....I am going to carve a piece of wooden dowel into a similar shape of the accu-wedge and call it the "anti-slop plug". I will sell a set of 3 for $25, as wood is better than rubber....

    Anytime i open a friends rifle and see an accuwedge i rip it out and tell them stop there whining. If you can slide a credit card through your receiver than you have a much bigger problem.

    I've seen a couple of designs that incorporated a spring loaded captured pin to remove any receiver slop. The Sig M400 has a really neat design where the pin is even separated from the fire control parts.

    A much more durable method than a rubber/plastic piece but harder to implement.

    Don't people realize that all of those things really do is eventually cause the hole in the upper receiver lug to progressively go oval after each use of the takedown pin?

    Accuwedge, detent, insert, whatever, its all just paying extra to ruin the upper sooner.
    And then it'll rattle anyway because the gizmo used to 'tighten things up' did just that...

    A fool and their money.......It should be named the "I'll smack you wedge" because you should be smacked for forking over the dollars for yet another gimmick!

    7075 aluminium forgings are pretty delicate.

    When you rub a hardened steel pin against it it is.

    If you don't like it, don't buy it. Obviously some of us OCD peeps keep the company in business. +1 for capitalism.
