I have a DPMS sporticle, the upper has always been sloppy in the lower and I finally got a hold of a new upper, when I put the new upper in to see how it would fit, it's sloppy too. Has anybody had and solved this problem without actually installing a new lower? I have another lower and the new upper is tight in that lower, as is the DPMS upper so the DPMS lower is just a little wider than it should be. I do not want to call the DPMS lower a wash, I prefer some elegant solution which allows me to keep the upper AND lower together but tightens up the fit.
Thanks, Jack |

To answer a few questions, it rattles, it's that loose, drives me nuts. I don't know what an accuwedge is, when I get home I'll look it up. Thanks! Everybody that has previously posted is correct. It won't hurt anything, and it is commonplace in AR's. That being said I hate it myself. Cannot stand rattling rifles. The accuwedge mentioned above should improve it for you. |

Alright then, Thank you! Jack |
A less expensive and readily available option is to slip a rubber o-ring over the front lug. When you close the upper, the o-ring takes up the slop between the upper and lower. If the ring gets squeezed too much and fails then install one with a thinner cross-section. Works like a charm.
