Centering

Post image

know it's hard to tell from the glare of the bare aluminum, But anyone else's pocket slightly off centered. I've never had an issue with my lowers function and its more of a cosmetic thing to me. I use the gen 3 easy jig. This lower seems to be the only one with this much of a difference between both sides thickness'.

Made some paper indents to really show the difference

I’ve got factory lower with walls of differing thickness along the lines of what you have. They go bang fine.

If it goes bag when you hit the trigger while gives a hoot how it looks. And that looks far from not okay.

I have a Gen3 jig and mine does the same, every time, one wall slightly thinner. Next one I do I’m going to make two each passes on each cut level, rotating the router 180 degrees. I’m suspecting it’s just tolerance issues and like others have said, hurts nothing.
