Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Eotech's shoot loose?
Posted: 9/13/2003 10:32:17 AM EDT
Am I the only one who has this problem?  I suppose after I first noticed the screw loosening I should have used some Loctite, but I figured a big screwdriver alone was enough.

I was wrong.  At least now I know the sight can bounce off the concrete and keep working

I am trying hard to like this sight, but I never had an Aimpoint fall off...

Several thousand rounds through my bushy M4 with EO tech and have not had to tighten it once after initial installation.

I just use a coin to tighten it down, and I've never had mine come loose.  If you do use loctite, make sure you don't use the type that requires heat to loosen or you may end up tearing up the mount if you want to remove it.

Tighten your thumb screw until hand tight, then take a coin and give it quarter to half turn.  it will stay on until you remove it.
