The is a slight gap, and a little movement between the upper and lower reciver of my ar-15, Will this affect the rifle in any harmful manner? Also what is the best way to tighten them up? Greatful for any help Icon |

Are you talking about the gap between the upper and the lower or a loose fit?? (ie. daylight through upper and lower connection or wiggling when assembled.) If daylight, how much?? A little bit is fairly normal. As for a loose connection between upper and lower recievers...I'm afraid you need an accuwedge.

| My AR15 has a slight (less than 1/32") gap between the upper and lower, but it doesn't rattle (the front and rear pins hold it steady). From what I understand, even if the upper to lower fit is slighty loose, accuracy won't be affected much, as long as you line up your sight picture correctly. |
