I bought an Aero Precision lower that has the adjustable tension screw on it. How does this work? Its under the pistol grip, so do you have to tighten it and then put the grip back on to check it? And then repeat the process until you have it where you want it?
I dont have the lower together yet, waiting on the LPK, but just curious on how it works.

It's to keep the upper and lower from having a lot of slop between them. Mate the upper and lower and adjust the screw until you're happy, then install the grip.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

The grip holds the safety detent. The rear take down pin detent is held by the receiver end plate

I had a smith install one on my lmt lower. took all of the slop/play/wiggle out of the upper/lower. Haven't wrung out the load yet to determine if it improved accuracy, but it sure couldn't hurt.

Are you going to pull those pistols, or whistle Dixie?
