[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2413879, member: 10291"] I have used few methods to take out the slop of an AR15. Lots of debate about the effect of the slop on accuracy, I used my AR’s for 200-300 yard Egg Shoot Competition and treat bedding quality no different then the bedding quality of my precision bolt rifles. I think it matters for high precision shooting. You have to first figure out where the slop is coming from…ie. loose pins or too much clearance in the rear receiver lug. Most all of the time for me it has been due to the rear receiver play/clearance. With AR15 Mil-spec rear lug fitment, the most effective solution for me has been to use the horseshoe shaped alloy Accu-Shims(below). They have kept a couple of my competition AR’s absolutely free of play for more 10-15 years of heavy use.keep the pin well lubed! The common plastic AccuWedge types can work OK until the rubber fatigues. I used them before I went to the Accu Shim. To solve this, I drilled a hole(about 1/8”-3/16”) in the center of the bottom disc portion and fitted a cut to length, stiff trigger spring, slightly larger then the drilled hole that is fitted in the hole to apply support tension. Getting the length of the spring right is important. A couple of shooters I know have epoxy bedded the rear lug using the same method used to bed a bolt rifle tang area…and have had good success. Others have make their own Accu-Shim type shims from metal or plastic sheet stock. Lots for ways to skin this cat if you feel you need to.
