Please help. I purchased a used Larue about 6 months ago from the EE from a guy that has + about 300. Mount looks authentic and in great shape - LNIB as described. I have a Leupold MK4 in it on a AR10 carbine. Generally it holds zero with no issues. The last 2 times to the range the screws backed out - with locktite. This last time I cleaned and locktited the screws and internal threads. Please let me know what else I can do and or warranty options as I don't know the age and am 2nd owner. TIA, Chuck |

Try degreasing the screws themselves and also the insides of the tapped holes. Any lubricants at all on the thread areas acts like a "releasing" agent. Try that and let me know. Also, do you have the instructions with that used unit ? If not, go to our website ... they are posted in there somewhere. M. LaRue |

Update: I soaked the mount in CLP and then took a brass brush to the screws and a brass bore brush to the mounting holes. That completed I used locktite and 30 rnds later it's still tight and I am a happy camper again. I have heard of the customer service but advice from "the MAN" himself says a lot. You've earned another lifetime customer. Keep it up. Charlie |
