Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dust cover not fully open
Posted: 9/11/2014 8:12:16 PM EDT
I just mounted a pepr mount and scope on my son's stag 3L. The nuts are on the left side and won't allow the dust cover to fully open.
Think this will effect ejection? It's well past parallel.

Only concerns, it would the ejection port cover being bent over time when spring loaded kicked open during firing, so you may want to position the mount so the cover is making contact semi center to the mount protrusion.

As for ejection problems, should be none.

Flip it around and mount it backwards. You might get some strange looks but it will work.

We have seen several left hand ejection port type rifles have ejection problems when the ejection port cover is blocked from fully opening by an optic mount.  Give the rifle a try and see if it is open enough.
