Do you enjoy the possibility of randomly losing a spring?

Agreed.

No excuse to use anything other than Geissele.

I didn't actually look at their mounting system until I got my Tango Down VFG, but holy shit this is the dumbest design ever.

How so? I was nearly set to order an ADM mount, but I've not seen one before.

Didn't they change the spring so they wouldn't fall out a few years ago?
Link Posted: 5/26/2017 10:52:10 PM EDT
[#16]
I over torque a screw on one and stripped it out. Didn't hear the wrench click to indicate I was at my poundage. Emailed ADM and they said to ship it to them. They sent me a brand new mount with no charge within a week's time. It's the only time I've ever had an issue with one of their mounts and it was my fault. It'll take a lot to make me switch brands, I'm more than happy with them.

I have several ADM mounts.  They have never been treated with kid gloves.  They have never lost a spring.  They are rock solid and return to zero when remounted.  Operator error?  Or as my Dad once said after I had hit my thumb with a hammer:  "Son, you got to be smarter than the hammer."

I just checked, mine are fine. I was unaware that they could spontaneously disassemble, I will keep them and take my chances.

If you don't buy the newest cool guy brand every year, you will certainly die in combat.  The odd catch-22 of this rule is that the only people who can actually afford to buy all the newest cool guy gear each year will almost certainly never use any of it outside of tactical cos-play or a "carbine course."

My optic was expensive I remove it all the time. Anytime the rifle's going in the safe or a range bag with other guns or anything else that could possibly scratch it.Sometimes I remove it to do viewing though it, MK8 glass is sweet. Also I move it forward on the rail to QD the PVS14 in to the aimpoint twist base with the TNVC ring to use the scope at night.

if i take it apart and push the locking lever back, i can pluck out the spring with my finger

mounts should not have the ability to come apart like that

AFAIK, ADM And LT are the only options that aren't stock.  I like the fact that I can run a zip tie through the LaRue lever without having to wrap the whole module in zip ties or p-cord.

Only so much room in my safes. I can fit more rifles with the optics removed and placed on the shelves. These days I keep a 65in/lb torque limiter around which works well on my G and NF Unimounts

G mounts are nice but no option for mounting a Wilcox Raptar or Radius. They're also kinda spendy. I normally just use a NF unimount instead, I can spend the extra $100 on ammo.

Want QD? Go LaRue.

I see what issue is being mentioned but the springs only have enough clearance to come out
if;

1. the mounts locking levers are open and since the locking levers can lock into the closed position if you just close and lock the levers the problems solved.

2.the mounts locking tab must become twisted since the there is a detent that recesses the spring into the mount the locking base must become twisted quite some way. The locking base is also under tension from the springs which provide some resistance preventing the locking base from twisting. Thus removing the spring would require actual force being applied to the locking base to twist it and would only be possible with the levers open.

IMO this is a non issue. I also prefer ADM mounts over any other reasonably priced QD mount including Larue. I would like to know what the OP was doing to remove the spring, I'm guessing it was intentional as that's the only way I see the springs coming out.

You do realize those bolts rotate the other way right? Some would say that if your rifle doesn't fit your case with the optic on, the best way to address the problem would be to get a different case.

Wasn't too impressed with my unimount. Now I have to figure out what mount to use to mount a NF 1-4 on my 10/22, but I'm leaning towards a Geissele.

For switching between daylight optics and my IR optic. I can only afford one $6k IR scope so I'm forced to switch it between platforms like a pauper.
