i didn't get instructions but it looks simple..
i guess you loose fit the hex bolt.
install the dove tail stripper clip guide and it's bolt.

then blue lock tight them both down.


my only question is what do you do about the front "contact post".  i guess that's what you call it.
how do you turn it down to make contact?  i know it must make contact for it to be effective but i think i may need a special tool or something.  i hate to screw this up.  it's my third mount and it's a lot nicer than the SA or the McCanns i had.  

Thanks for any help you can provide.
