Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Upper \ Lower Play
I seem to have a little bit of play between my upper and lower...I seen and heard of a Wedge to place in the lower behind the Take Down Pin.. I've also heard mention of an O-ring...Are either one worth the trouble or should I just live with it? I know that either option will not affect shooting, but its more of a confidenve thing...ANY INPUT ???????
Try an o ring, then if it's still sloppy, swap the o ring for the wedge.
My rifle had slop and I went straight for a wedge (given to me). Now it's VERY tight. Good and bad comes from it.
Where do you put the O ring?
On the rear lug of the upper
Upper-lower slop has no effect on accuracy. I suppose an extreme amount would, but by the time you'd probably have other worries.

Orange foam ear plug is all you need. I just live with it

My Feedback
If you do decide to tackle this 'problem', make sure that whatever you put in there is not going to go flying into your FCG at a random and inappropriate time.

Upper and lower play is somewhat common and does have the potential to mess with accuracy but not likely.
Spend $5 and get yourself an Accu-Wedge and be done with it.

I bought a seekins billet lower and it has an adjustment screw for lower to upper retention. All my other rifles have the "play" and I just live with it. It does kind of suck when you buy a noveske lower, VLTOR upper and put them together to have a little wobble. Oh well.
