[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3066272, member: 93138"] Making it work isn't a problem for me. Lots of options in the shop/garage. I just wasn't going start modifying without first understanding why the problem exists in the first place. Knowing why might make a difference in the chosen resolution. I went with the CMMG upper because I wanted the stiffest upper that I could find, and it looked like it might be that. Playing it safe in using only one mfg. leaves options on the table that I might want. I'm willing to deal with, and expect that issues will arise in mixing and matching mfg's parts to get the result that I'm after. Even large frames are legos compared to the conflicts that "Bolt-on" racing vehicle parts have with each other. That part is not a concern. Folks are getting hung up on the High vs. Low thing and that isn't a factor in this problem. I know this for two reasons, A) the hole in the gas key on the BCG aligns perfectly with the clover-leaf hole in the upper; and B) the Aero hand-guard's rail is exactly flat to the CMMG upper's rail. How two different mfg's held the tolerance stack tight enough for that to happen is a testament to modern manufacturing. Aero wants pictures, so I guess I have to clean the work bench after all.....
