| As I said on my other thread I'm new to AR15's, and this question may be stupid and if so I'm sorry. I noticed on my Armalite/Eagle Arms M15 that the stock and the forearm have a slight twist to them. I was wondering if that is because the gun is held together on the 2 pins at the rear of the reciever and at the front of the reciever. Thanks for the help in advance. |

Are you holding the handguards when you detect this 'twist'? Some handguards do move if you twist on them, it wouldn't mean there's a bunch of slop in the upper to lower fit, just some handguard movement. Try holding the barrel or the upper receiver itself and see how much motion you notice... |

As mentioned, there is some movement in most handguards.......but.......... it's common for the upper receiver to have a little play with the lower receiver. These are the 2 parts that are held together by the pushpins For normal shooters, this won't affect anything. If you don't like it, buy and Accuwedge - it's a piece of rubber designed to tighten up the fit. |

Quoted: There is a slight movement to the handguards on one of my rifles, but that is the hanguards only. It has not affected the funtion or accuracy of my rifle in any way. |
