Re: Accuracy Wedge?
PS: I apologize if this violates the group pic rule (perhaps averaging together the video and the picture should pass) I promise I'll have more groups per target as soon as I get that Black Hills Ammo sponsorship

Billet yes, set screw no.

Billet yes, set screw no.
Re: Accuracy Wedge?
I was wrong about the POFs, but I would assume they would match their receivers, it would only be right when using billet.

Re: Accuracy Wedge?
Actually fit-wise there's no difference if you machine forged receivers or billet receivers. Either style has the mating surfaces machined prior to anodizing by the same CNC methods usually.
POF maintains good tolerances, but the receivers are not kept as matched sets through their manufacturing lifetime. I'm not sure any makers do on their production guns.
Back to the original question, I have always heard that slop between the upper and a lower on AR's is not to be worried about, because the sights are attached to the upper.
Noone has really clarified why this would is true, but on a boltgun the bedding must be perfest for maximum accuracy-the scope's mounted to the barreled action not the stock isn't it?
I'm not saying it is or isn't so, I'm just curious to know why they are treated differently.

Re: Accuracy Wedge?
Just throwing something else into the mix here. Slapping the trigger, or not pulling it straight back on a bedded bolt action rifle can cause a shift in POI. Is is possible that a loose fit between the upper and lower of an AR platform can shift under recoil that would produce a similar effect if the recoil impulse isn't 100% consistent?

Re: Accuracy Wedge?
I think the wedge would only benefit at long ranges. If there is even the slightest slop, that could cause you to miss the bulls eye at 1000 yards. That is the only benefit I can come up with the wedge. I have no scientific evidence, but that is all my brain can come up with.
