I have a Springfield Saint.  Took it out to shoot for the first time yesterday.  While shooting I noticed that the upper rocks back and forth on the lower.  It is not tight like my other AR's.  I tried to use an Accurate-Wedge, but it doesn't fit and I can't close the upper to the lower with it in place.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is or how to fix it?

Not yet.  Was hoping it was a quick fix that I could do.

I thought that gun had a system in place to prevent that? The accutite receiver mating system its called.

Mildly wobbly upper to lower fit is not really a problem.

Easy fix ... The Lower has a nylon tipped set screw to put more tension on the receivers .... Remove your grip and screw it in (clockwise) .... Make adjustments until your are satisfied .... The rear takedown pin will be harder to push in but you won't have any play

Yep, remove the grip and tighten the screw.
