[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New Build

Posted: 3/30/2014 3:16:52 AM EDT

I have just finished my first build. I have a Seekins SP223 lower with JP Parts kit, ALG Combat trigger with JP Reliability Enhanced Reduced Power Spring Kit, and a Daniel Defense V7 LW upper. Which leads me to my first question. Without adjusting the tension screw i have some wobble on the rear. I can adjust the tension screw which removes the wobble however now I can see light between the upper and lower everywhere except at the rear of the upper near the buffer. How much light is too much light? It is a little disappointing since I tried to buy quality parts to have a snug fit.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this normal or is there a problem with the upper or lower? Will this cause any issues in the long run?

Normal with tolerance variances...

Ok, its not a lot a light. If you are looking from the side you can't even notice it without holding it up to the light. It feels solid. Like I said it's a little disapointing with the quality of parts I have purchased.

Unless you buy a matched receiver set, it might be too tight, too loose, or just right. It will not affect function...
