There is a thread on Build It Yourself titled "Lowers that do not fit" that may be what you are looking for. You might also search the last few weeks on BIY for others. Seems like this comes up fairly often with RRA lowers. |

i would avoid using any type of stone. you may want to polish up the upper a little bit. but in time they will go together. I had a RRA matched upper and lower that took tools to seperate and put back together. after a while of putting them together and taking them apart you could do it without tools.

I had the same problem with two different BM uppers and a RRA lower. I applied copious amounts of CLP on the rear lug, inverted the rifle to brace the upper on a table and pressed down on the buttstock (while a friend was holding the upper steady) until I could snap the pin in place. After shooting a few hundred rounds the fit was still tight, but not so tight that force was again required to attach the upper. Hope this helps.

My RRA fit is snug as well, but after about 20 off/on's it's much better. I just use plenty of CLP.

Same results here. Tight at first. Loosening up with use. I bought some Accu-wedges based on what I have read about sloppy fits. RRA's have proven not to need Accu-wedges. Maybe in a few years? Otherwise, I am very happy with the precise fitting, other than wasting 2 whole dollars on an unnecessary Accu-wedge.[:E]
