Just a heads of for people who may not know (i'm sure a lot of y'all do)... if you are going to be running your rifle in any type of wet environment and you have a QD Tango Down VG, it is probably a good idea to apply oil to the metal parts bc the finish does not protect from rust (you will need to disassemble the QD mech to apply oil to the inside of the "clamp".

Yea, That's what happens when you try to save money

That's why you should never take your rifle outdoors... No matter how much better the picture's resolution will be in the natural lighting

I shoot mine in the house all the time. The wife is going deaf, haven't seen the cat in months but the empties are sure easy to pick up. And no rust problems .

Put some oil on it and keep going.  It is weird that the piece is made of iron though and not aluminum
