Hello, this is my first AR build. I know usually the fitment is looser than desired and one would use an accu-wedge. I've found just the opposite. I have an Anderson multi-cal lower mated to an Anderson 16" stainless 5.56 upper that came as an assembly with bcg. I'm using an unbranded lpk. The pins are not oversized. All parts were purchased at different times from different vendors. No fitment issues with handguard. The first two times I tried to fit it and it wouldn't go so I disassembled the lower and started over, oiling and checking fitment as I went. The third and final time is when I decided its just going to be a very tight fit. I had to turn it upside down on the floor and bear down as hard as I could to get the takedown pin inserted and I'm 6'2" 210lbs. Everything functions perfectly and I couldn't be happier with it. Now to disassemble and clean it, I need to use some type of vise or clamp to relieve the pressure to remove the pin, definitely not able to easily disassemble in the field as designed. I'm sure it will loosen some with use but should I be concerned with this or happy that I got a very tight fitting rifle? Thank you
