Is accuracy dependant mostly on the upper receiver of the LR308 or is it the combination of the upper and lower? I have a pretty accurate LR308 with a Kreiger barrel on it that will do .5 MOA when I am doing my part, but I am trying to wring every ounce of accuracy out of this thing. I noticed that there is a minimal gap between the upper and lower. Would the upper and lower not mating "perfectly" have an affect. I have been looking at the Iron Ridge Arms upper and lowers and they state that they are matched.

Re: Factors that affect the LR 308
Accuracy is in the upper and ammo. If the brass & bullets are being dinged by the barrel extension that will cause some issues. The trigger is another area of concern if the stock trigger is still in place.

A minimal gap means nothing.
The question is.
Is there is movement between the upper and lower <span style="font-weight: bold">DURING</span> the time the bullet is traveling down the barrel?
Front to back?
Up and down?
Side to side?
