[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 432655, member: 18789"] The gap is 100% normal. It is due to inconsistencies in manufacturing the tapered knuckle hole. You have a smaller hole so your knuckle didn't go up the pin as far as someone who's knuckle got a hole a bit too big. This is also why the pin goes straight up and down only, to adjust for different knuckle tolerances. The Upper just provides knuckle stability, it carries no load whatsoever so the pins only moves and down for tightening purposes during installation. Once it's in and tightened, that relationship will not ever change and it's fine. [/QUOTE]
