Thread: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15

Re: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15
A barrel bushing doesn't hold the barrel in place. The bushing passes over the barrel when cycling. It's the pin/slide catch that pushes through the lower frame and holds the barrel in place. Therefore, one can assume the barrel is connected to the lower and not the slide. Edit: I am aware of the connection between bushings (match vs stock) and keeping the barrel steady, but not how a 1911 compares to an AR in operations.

Re: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15
You sound like a pretty cranky 62 at that.
Upper and lower fit has only the faintest effect on practical accuracy.
On the 1911, slide to frame fit should be optimized when fitting a new barrel but it has far less effect on accuracy than a well fitted barrel and bushing.
And I would be happy to tell you about a lifetime experience in bedding rifles- or assembling 1911 pistols or assembling AR type rifles.Crusader's local #556 South Central Asia chapter

Re: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15
Completely and totally incorrect.
How tight a 1911 locks up and how consistently the gun locks up are the most important factors in accuracy. The barrel bushing has a lot to do with this. The link ensures that the locking lugs on the barrel engage the recesses in the slide consistently when the gun returns to full battery.There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Re: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15
It would appear that "some" people disagree with you, so thank you but I will keep my Accuwedge and I wont ask why Colt installs them on their ARs.
www.fulton-armory.com/
"How important is AR-15 Upper/Lower Receiver fit? Is the Accuwedge of any benefit?
"The accuwedge should be installed on every AR15 (Colt installs them routinely with every factory rifle), unless, one uses the JP rear tensioning pin, which is the best solution, albeit a lot more expensive."
Brownells
AR-15/AR-10/SR-25 REAR TENSIONING PIN
Removes Upper/Lower Slop For Increased Accuracy
Takes out the play between upper and lower AR-15 receivers: provides a rock-solid lockup for more consistent accuracy and improved trigger pull. Thread-adjustable, all stainless steel pin installs quickly, replaces the push pin and will not alter or enlarge existing hole dimensions.

Comments about J P ENTERPRISES AR-15 .250 REAR TENSIONING PIN:
As previous reviewer has stated, it will back out after a few shots, IF you do not use lock tite. However, use blue lock tite, which I do and you will be fine. Takes a few more minutes to unscrew for cleaning, but not a big deal. Have used this on all my AR's that have a fit problem and does improve accuracy on those.Last edited by bigedp51; August 14th, 2012 at 12:19 AM.

Re: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15
So you link to companies that sell the product they are touting? Solid work, Dr. Watson.
Perhaps I can interest you in a Jimenez:
http://homesteadfirearms.com/cart2/pid_397.htm
Was $189, now $179 - The flagship feature of the Jimenez Arms. The J.A. Nine is its easy to use and comfortable to shoot. A perfect self-defense gun for a reasonable price. There is a large screw on the adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation. The high visibility front sight is another great feature which helps the shooter by providing a highly effective sight pattern. The gun also has a last round slide hold open feature so the shooter knows when the magazine is empty. These features all combine to make this pistol uncommonly accurate and a delight to shoot. Other, higher priced, pistols do not offer these kind of features and the kind of flexibility that you get with the J.A. Nine. This gun is available in a two-Tone Finish.
Overall Weight 30 oz.
Overall Thickness 1.25 in
Overall Height 4.75 in.
Must be a good product! Are you done failing yet?Last edited by sprrdhawk44; August 14th, 2012 at 12:20 AM.

Re: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15
Fulton Armory and Colt do not sell the Accuwedge!
And Fulton Armory recommends using the Accuwedge and Colt puts the Accuwedge in their AR 15s.
And Dr. Watson doesn't take advice from young inexperienced 22 year old kids who don't even know how a 1911 locks up.

Kuhnhausen
Why lower and tighten the frame rails? Why tighten the slide?
1. With correct rail lowering, and a tightened slide, mechanical accuracy
potential is increased when barrel and bushing accuracy work is also done.
2. In match shooting, virtually all other competing pistols will have frame rail
and slide modifications, giving them an approximate 15% edge against
competitors without these improvements.
3. With slide and frame rails tightened, bearing surface area is vastly increased, minimizing point contact wear, and adding to long term durability.
4. General feeding reliability is increased. The slide is always in the same relative position as it rides on the frame rails. As a result, cartridges are ramped and then cammed into the extractor's cartridge rim retaining slot in the same way on each and every cycle.

Thanks for playing!
OK, so Colt shipped some rifles with the accujunk, so what? You chub over that pretty hard.
You took all that time reading Jerry's book to tell me that tightening everything up offers a 15% improvement? Fantastic!
And since you're quoting his book, why not drop down to the next section (number 3, specifically) and tell the rest of the class what it says
This 22 year old can eat a bowl of alphabet soup and shit a better argument.

Re: Accu Wedge Buffer For AR-15
We know you like to argue kid, its your shitty alphabet soup spurting from your mouth and inexperience that bothers us.
If you or anyone else doesn't like the Accuwedge then don't use it.
The biggest problem in these forums is there are too many midgets handing out information while pretending to be giants. They sit in front of their computers pretending to be something they are not and their feet don't even touch the ground.
Your first mistake kid was being insulting, the second was your alphabet soup was meaningless gibberish picked up by reading other postings.
Have a nice day kid.Last edited by bigedp51; August 14th, 2012 at 01:58 AM.
