Hey, I just went to throw my scalarworks mount on the PMA and when fully tightened down, the leap mount still rattles/moves. I checked it on my upper receiver and the pic rail on my handguard, and there's no rattle with either of them. Have you spent much time with the scalarworks mount on your PMA? I must say I'm pretty surprised bc my shitty holosun mount was fitting just fine, but yeah, the scalarworks is just a bit loose no matter how many ugga duggas I put into it. I have also contacted scalarworks because I am unsure which of the two parts are out of spec. Thanks!

Going to try the SLR Absolute RMR mount next.
Seems this is a (not well) known issue. Probably should put that on the website, given the popularity of scalarworks mounts.
Final edit: Do you have a recommended low weight but still durable t2 mount? Preferably QD but I was also really excited about the low snag nature of the scalarworks.
