Your bolt catch/release/bad lever is going to wear out the ears of the lower eventually.
I shimmed mine! I forget who sells shims for like $20 but a set of feeler gauges on Amazon is $6.
Make shims from feeler gauges, then it will have to chew through the shim first before damaging your lower receiver. I measured the gap, grabbed a feeler gauge that is 1/2 the value and then drilled 2 holes and cut it to fit with scissors. Fixture to hold down the shim was packing tape and a wood block.
First I'm hearing about this.. how does it wear the ears on the lower and any pics?
