As will be described in reference to the succeeding description, the improved shim exhibits a thin arcuate body with a flat bottom which matches an inner facing profile of either of the spaced apart ears associated with the lower receiver, and between which seats a tubular shaped and downwardly extending protrusion associated with the upper receiver. The shim can be employed either singularly or in a plural / stackable fashion and in order to eliminate the existence of excess tolerance (spacing) exhibiting between the upper and lower receives, such as which is further characterized as “slop” or “play” and which can otherwise result in misalignment between the receivers.
[0024]By controlling the slop existing between the upper and lower receivers at the front mounting location (the takedown pin defining a second rearward spaced mounting location), the firearm (rifle) can be easil...
