AR-15/M16 ACCU-WEDGE Reviews & Ratings

AR-15/M16 ACCU-WEDGE

One of the fastest, easiest, cheapest accuracy-improvements you’ll ever find for your AR! Tough, high-density synthetic rubber wedge drops into the space behind the takedown pin in the lower receiver to provide tension between the receiver halves and prevent movement for improved accuracy. Takes the “loose gun” factor out of the equation, so you shoot tight, consistent groups. Can be trimmed to accommodate any variation in upper-to-lower receiver fit.



SPECIFICATIONS:
  • Material: Synthetic Rubber
  • Length: 3/4"
  • Diameter: 1/2"

Wedge for AR
Doesn't fit well all the time. Requires too much trimming on some lowers.

Works ok, not the best solution
The accuwedge is a small red rubber spacer that is placed under your rear takedown pin. I can only assume that it is sized to work well with 'low shelf' lowers that have additional clearance under the rear takedown pin - typically lowers with these dimensions follow milspecs for an autosear. In a 'high shelf' lower, this wedge requires fitment to make it work as intended. That said, there are cheaper (and better) options to take out the wiggle between your upper and lower: a #41 (9/16" OD, 7/16" ID) rubber o ring placed around the front takedown lug. The accuwedge is inexpensive as is, but a single #41 rubber o ring is much cheaper and easily found at my local hardware store, and requires no cutting or fitting.

Fit in a Stag Arms
I just purchased this and it is a bit large for my Stag Arms Ar15. I will have to shave a little off the flat portion that makes contact with the upper receiver for it to fit. Right now the rear take down pin will not line up with the rear hole in the lower.
