hey everyone... i know that carrier tilt has plagued AR15s since the dawning of piston driven uppers... and people have tried different solutions to deal with the problem.. what im wondering is whether or not anyones actually managed to fix it yet?

so far, ive seen enlarged carriers, redesigned buffer tubes, and one carrier i seen was shorter than normal with what i believe was an enlarged nylon rear section of the carrier to stabilize it by causing a tighter fit in the receiver, but not being made of hard steel to tear up the inside of the receiver and buffer tube...

so, at this point in time, in july of 2012, what is the best solution to this so far for piston uppers?

i know someone will state the obvious of leaving an AR15 direct impinged, but that wont answer the question
