I got it straight. Only tightened the center screw on the aero mount to bridge and barely put any pressure on it. She's nice and center now!!

10.5" Midwest industries combat rail

Everytime I hand tighten or torque this thing down it pulls the barrel low into the handgaurd like the handgaurd is tilting upwards... I've tried a wheeler picatinny vise and a aero precision scope mount to no avail. Any ideas????

My idea would be to contact MI as they have excellent customer service!

contact with gas block?

I think it was long mlok screws

I always advise people not to do the bridge method. Depending on how you torque the mount it can force misalignment.

Set the rail and receiver upside down and flat on a known even surface, apply pressure as evenly as possible, and torque. I've also found in most cases you can actually get things tighter this way as it makes sure everything is seating correctly.

ETA: If you have a front sight base just carefully hang it off the edge of the table so you don't drop everything.

Thanks for the tip!
