[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2431319, member: 93138"] I think that the so-called "monolithic" uppers are a step in the right direction. However, most that I've seen online or owned were poorly executed. Their design(s) didn't really address the flex that they were supposed to address. Some appeared to be designed TO flex. It is enough to make me want to build a billet upper to use something like the Seekins' SP3R hand gaurd w/o any adapter. I.E. like Seekins makes their own upper for the SP3R, but without the steps and notches that promote flex and decrease rigidity. Granted, altering the upper's shape to eliminate flex would very likely make it not legal in NRA comps, but for myself I'm not concerned with that. And this doesn't address the original concern, just one that it triggered discussion of. A simple change would be to make the take-down pin holes in the lower to be in an eccentric that the user could tighten down after assembly. I should patent that, but now that y'all have read about it, its too late..... [/QUOTE]
