[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is a little wiggle normal with Daniel Defense FF 7.0?

Posted: 4/7/2006 7:35:14 PM EDT

Thanks in advance to all replies.

I have a Daniel Defence FF 7.0 on my M4. I have noticed a little wiggle with the FF Front. It is very small...not much at all, but I was wondering if it was normal or if I should do anything about it.

Thanks.

No.

Not normal.

So there should be ZERO wiggle at all? Just want to be clear. Thanks.

Zero wiggle.

No play at all.

Some people have grabbed the pistol grip and rail, then twisted and thought a rail was loose. This is usually play between the upper and lower. If you are grabbing the upper, and twisting in the rail, and have play in it, it is not installed correctly, and you are probably binding the gas tube when it moves.

Great point Stickman......now after reading your post it is clear that the FF front is NOT lose at all....the play is between the upper and lower. I had one hand on my pistol grip and the other on the VFG and that is when I could feel some play. If I hold the upper and the FF front there is ZERO movement. Thanks....you put my mind at ease.

I'm glad thats what it was. Even upper/lower combos that seem pretty tight usually have a little play when done this way, so you certainly aren't the first or last person its happened to.
