Picked up a beater MkII at the SAXET show for $150 (included Cordura holster w/ magpouch).
Just for kicks, took it shooting as-is, and it worked fine despite being filthy. When I cleaned it, it was totally gunked up inside. I soaked it in degreaser, poured boiling water on it, regreased it, and I'm still chipping chunks of carbon out of it. I'm almost worried that I've compromised its reliability by cleaning it. But I digress.
It shoots fine, but the upper/lower fit is really rattly. When the bolt is out, I can rock the upper back and forth slightly, and even rotate it slightly. Is this a result of someone breaking it down too much? Is there any way to tighten up the engagement? Does it even matter?
