Front take down pin and wobble problem

[GhostMutt]

Hi all,

I use an o-ring to wrap around the part where the takedown pin goes into (on the upper) to stop that bit of wobble that the 15-22 has between upper and lower. It annoys me so.

However, the o-rings don't last that long and snap. They do solve the problem...no wobble at all with one on.

I was wondering if any of you have found a more permanent solution? or if you even have this problem?

I have a huge bag of the correct size o-rings so i'm not desperate but i am curious about what others do.

Plus i have not posted a thread for a while...and the Mrs thinks i'm being neglectful

Mine only has the wobble when it's open. As soon as the upper and lower are pinned together, the wobble is gone. If it only wobbles when it's open I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't know if these will fit in the 15-22, but the cost is low, so it might be worth a try.

Mine wobbles when closed as well...only slightly almost imperceptible to someone other than me...but i really notice it. I've just attached another o-ring this morning after a clean and inspection and once again it is as snug as a bug. Like i said the solution is there and they are cheap and plentiful...so i guess i answered my own question. .
