I just finished a sort of A-4 build. The rifle turned out quit well and I'm afraid I'm being too picky but here goes.  The upper is Bravo Company and the lower is Mega.  The wobble is  pretty minimal but the pivot and take down pins are super easy to get out. All the lower parts are are all Colt.  Everything is assembled correctly.  It is weird.  I either assembly  a perfectly aligned rifle that is going to work flawlessly (sarcasm here) or something is a bit off.  It almost feels like the holes that the detents go into aren't deep enough or the detent springs are week. I haven't fired it yet but will next weekend. I'm worried about them working loose from recoil.  Any thought or ideas would be appreciated.

How easy is super easy?  Very light finger pressure with the back of your pinky easy or just a lot easier than you have experienced in the past?

Check the detents and the pins.  There are detents out there that are flat on one end and pointed at the other... the pointed end needs to go toward the pin.  Also make sure the takedown pins have the little holes drilled for the detents to go into at each end of the slot.  Other than that, pick up a couple new detents that will be less worn and smooth than the old one as well as some new pins for the same reason, if it's a concern for you.

Easier than anything in the past.  I should have clarified that.
