Just recently bought a Saint Victor in 556. While doing a pre use inspection, noticed a gap between the upper and lower near where the buffer tube connects. Measured with a wire gage and the gap is 22 gauge or ~.025. This is my first AR15 so don’t know about the tolerances (I do have an AR 10 (308) and there are no gaps between the upper\lower).
Running the BCG forward from lock seems smooth, as well as running the charging handle to lock the bolt back. Is this gap a concern? Will this cause excessive wear? Break parts pre-maturely?
I did send an email to customer support but have heard nothing back, so asking the community for thoughts!
