6920 Wedge?

[SWATcop556]

Some people only care about the "fit" and "feel" and "tightness" of their rifle.

I care about those three things..........but it has nothing to do with a rifle.

Use them if you want to but I get tired of having to put bits and pieces out of a lower when someone brings me a rifle and says "it no work no mo."

They have a history of either coming out of place and/or disintegrating over time. This is well documented over many years. Don't take this personal.

None taken, thanks for the tip and Merry Christmas.

Hi guys,

I just disassembled my 6920 for the first time and cleaned it. Upon reassembly, I found the upper and lower receivers fit more "loose" than before I took it apart and cleaned it. Is this normal?

The rear takedown pin was pretty tight before taking the rifle apart and now it is easier to push out. I just want to make sure this is normal as I have absolutely no AR15 experiance.

Thanks for the help.

This is how God intended.

So whats wrong about adding an 'accurizer' rubber wedge in the receiver? It does take that notchy loose feeling out between the upper and lower?

Not sure what you mean by social rifle, not a Camp Perry rifle?

They serve NO PURPOSE in a fighting weapon.

The main reason for this is because they can come apart and become lodged in the FCG.

This is a NO GO.

Ok, I can buy this reasoning. My Noveske upper fits tight on my RR Colt lower, but my 6933 rattles like tin cans in a bag on it. For those of us who are obsessive compulsive and anal about immaterial matters such as this, is there a viable solution?

if you just really, really have to have snugness, an o-ring around the takedown lug will accomplish it. but somebody had a counter for that, as well... cant remember what it was, but apparently that caused a problem for someone once too.

With the gun slung up right, tucked up in a good carbine shooting stance, you won't notice any rattle. If you do, you're not concentrating on the right things: you're doing it wrong. Shoot the gun more, fingerbang it less.

Well said My first AR came with the little wedge things, they did come out and cause me some hassle. I trashed what was left of them and never had another problem.

My first suggestion would be to get over your issues and understand that it is a combat gun and not a bolt gun.

If that does not work, send the upper to an FFL dealer for them to match fit your upper to a new lower.
