Accu wedge??

You believe what you want to believe, and I'll believe the truth.

So you believe Canadian soldiers cant find bright red things in the woods? Or is the truth that they are somehow so incompetent that they cannot disassemble a weapon without losing pieces of it?

Personally I doubt either one of those but you believe whatever nonsense you want. I just don't see how this is any fault of the product.

Does the rifle perform well, tight groups? Are you shooting long distance or competing? What manufacturer is it? If not, then I don't see where that tiny bit of tightness would help, so no worries at all. An accuwedge won't really help if your lower and upper are out of spec either. It's far better to get a new receiver that's tight. Which is my recommendation to you. Please don't jb weld! And my way of thinking is the lower is simply the vessel that contains the hammer, and gives you something to hold on to. I have a mk12 that has a small amount of wobble, and it's a sub moa shooter, Ymmv..

.......If not, then I don't see where that tiny bit of tightness would help, so no worries at all..........

Well, my main reason was to get rid of the wobble that is almost universally present in the AR. For $2 it does that well enough.

I have one in my DPMS M4, best $5 spent on it.

Ok, my 2 Cents:
Yes, they help to take the slop out. But as others have already posted- if it is too sloppy, the wedge can only take out so much.
I use one and it helps me.

John Feamster in his book "Black Magic" conducted a test of taking that slop out or not and found a small but noticable improvement in groups at 250yds.

" Stock rattle can come from allot of places and generally depends on the quality of the stock "- This. Including mismatching a commercial parts with military- they don't have the same dimensions. Recoil spring noise is solved by putting grease on the spring.

Bedding an AR with JB weld is no different then bedding a M1A so if you don't like that then-ok. Now whether it helps, is the question.

As far as the Canadians losing them or not- who cares and how is it relevant? I use the wedge, don't lose it and feel it helps. It is a cheap and easy to use. I visit Canada regularly and guess I should wander the training areas and get my life time supply.................

Finally about acessorizing the AR- I shot an M1A in service rifle prior to the AR. I built that M1A up with parts and bedding etc to get it competitive. I also knew how to "run the gun" and so had no reliabilty issues. I did the same with the AR. So -to me- I dont understand questioning building one up and not the other, if one wants to be fair.

I use accra-glass gel and I use release agent on the rear lug and pin fill to rear area when the gel starts to get firm- not too much- I just push the pin half way and let it harden. I just bed the bottom 3/16" to 1/4" of the lug by filling the area up to the bottom of the pin hole with a big syringe.

Got one in my EBR, took some slop out, makes me feel better.
