If it's not a tight fit to the upper it might... But if you buy quality parts you wont have an issue.

ok thats what i thought i had skimped on my lower so i could spend more money on my upper and just wanted to make sure it was the right choice
i got a supior arms lower with a dpms parts kit a hough grip and a tapco stock. for the upper i got a CMMG

You should be fine.. you will be able to tell if there is a fit issue if the upper and lower have play (you can wiggle them) once they are mated. that is the only time you realistically (mechanically that is) have a potential accuracy issue.

the fit between the upper and lower would have to be SLOPPY loose for an accuracy issue to happen. A wiggle is of no concern.

if you want to waste the $5 and it makes you feel better

Make it TOO tight and you'll have a hard time pushing out the take down pin.
