    I don't see what the big deal is.

    The AR15/M16 platform was designed without the Accuwedge.

    All the components critical for accuracy, i.e. barrel and optics, are (hopefully) rigidly fixed to the upper. Play between lower and upper means nothing unless it exceeds specs somehow.

    The SME's and experts here, who all have far more real-world experience than I will ever have, say it's not needed, and can be dangerous if it starts disintegrating and moving around. I have no cause or justification in challenging them.

    Accuwedge = money ill-spent, along with non-rotating pins and all the other crap people hang off their AR's. My AR's have everything they need and nothing they don't because of the resources here.

    That's why I come here - not to argue or defend the indefensible, but to listen to the experts and save myself time, money, and trouble.

    There's giving 'good advice' and there's being a dick about it. Not referring to you of course.

    I have one in my weapon system...
    Nice piece and gets rid of the annoying rattle. Gun feel nice and solid.

    I have shot nearly 600rds out of it without any problem. Does make it a bit harder to remove the pivot pins for breakdown....but is do-able.

    Accu-Wedge

    A piece of unnecessary kit.

    I'll clarify:

    The accu-wedge has no place in my fighting guns: ddm4v1 (personal) and Colt m4 (work)

    Here is what resurrected this "debate" thread (so the mods know I wasn't trying to stir up trouble).

    My cousin commented that he wanted to get one to fix the slop in his AR. I hadn't heard of them so I started doing some digging on forums and such to find out more about them.

    Ultimately I told him he should worry more about the cheap handguards that move a quarter inch in either direction, and less on the two millimeter gap in his receivers.

    He unfortunately still wants one, and hey that's cool, it's his gun. I did however come to the conclusion that I wouldn't personally use one.

    two millimeter gap in his receivers.
    I'm hoping that's exaggerated.
