AR Bolt catch wiggle... measurements needed

[jjperl]

I noticed that the bolt catch on my AR doesn't stand up strait when its holding the bolt back, and it seems to have excessive wiggle room when it's not in use. I'm thinking it may be out of spec, but I want to get some measurements/input from some of you guys before I buy a new one. My bolt catch measures at about .050" wide. Or maybe this issue is normal?

come on, someone has got to have some information here.

Replace the spring.

Or live it with it the way it is.

As long as it works you're probably ok.

I will measure the width of my bolt catch for you tomorrow. Maybe the hole on your bolt catch is out of spec.

They all wiggle.
Uppers and lowers wiggle too.
Deal with it, or perhaps take up knitting.
