Update:
I have not heard back from the S&W rep here about the photos I posted on my very loose and sloppy fitting bolt catch on my M&P sport II. Of course, it really doesn't matter now, because I removed the bolt catch and put a .015 steel shim washer on the right side, and now the bolt catch is not as loose fitting, but still plenty of movement to allow for proper function. My guess is that it was either a slightly out-of-spec (narrow) bolt catch or a slightly out-of-spec (wide) slot in the lower, or a combination of the two. Either way, I'm happier with it now.
So, I used an accu-shim (not accu-wedge) to tighten up the looseness between the upper and lower, and the .015 shim washer to tighten up the bolt catch. Turned out to be one of my favorite ARs so far.
Sometimes I wonder how such a wide variation/tolerance of "mill-spec" developed over the years. I'm actually used to a little more precision, I guess.
Oh, by-the-way, that special AR bolt catch roll-pin punch sold by Brownell's works great!!! No nicks, scratches or scaring.
