I shot my first 60 rounds through my new Bushmaster today and it went well. There is play between the Upper and Lower Receiver. Is this Normal or can I fix this? Normal, and there isn't any need to fix it. |

If it bothers you, Accu Wedge it.

Also, O-rings around lugs are an alternative to accuwedge, and haven't heard of them causing any malfunctions. As stated though, unnecessary. |

As stated though, unnecessary. I tried an O-Ring for a while on an upper that was sloppier than I liked. Don't get me wrong, I don't care if they are a little loose, and actually like it for easy take down. This one was a little too much, though. I found an O-Ring that fit around the lug well... I used it for a few weeks. Ultimately, I decided it made it too difficult to disassemble the rifle by putting to much pressure on the take down pin. I got rid of it and just accepted the slop. |

I don't believe play between the upper and lower has any effect on the accuracy of the rifle

I had mated a Larue Stealth upper to a Rock River lower, there was some movement, not much, but then I swapped the RRA with a Noveske and now, no movement. Very tight, the first AR I have had actually where there is no movement between the upper and lower, just always assumed that is how it was. Every M16 I had, certainly moved around. Never seemed to affect function, always worked. In the end, just personal preference.

You are wrong, and yes they did make it for a reason - to get money from suckers who think it does anything more than tighten the two receivers at the expense of stressing the receivers which could eventually cause the holes to egg. |

I qualified expert with M16A1 rifles that were so loose, it would make the heads spin of any ARFCOM newbie. The rear sight and the front sight are on the same plane, attached to each other via the barrel and upper receiver. If this wasn’t a solid platform, do you really think for example, that the SDM and SAM-R weapons would be based off it? |

OK, I was just concerned about the little bit of play. Again im new with the AR15 and was just concerned because I just put a La Rue hand guard on and after I shot it for the first time I felt play play after about 60 rounds and thought it was the handguard loose only to notise the play in between recievers.
