[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Quick Disconnect mount help

Posted: 6/5/2011 7:54:56 AM EDT

I recently acquired a Primary Arms quick disconnect magnifier mount. When I was going to install it I accidentally loosened the nut too much and all of the washers fell out. I have tried to replace everything, but I am not sure about the order and placement of all the washers and how to get it back together correctly. I have tried different combinations but the quick disconnect spring action doesn't seem to work no matter what I try.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Here are some pictures for reference:

aren't there 2 mounts? could you carefully dissassemble the other to find out the order?

I only have this one quick disconnect mount. The other mount I have is not quick disconnect, so it does not have the same mechanism.

Try stacking the four curved washers between the two flat washers, you want to have the curves on the washers stacked so they take up the most room. This should act as a spring?

That was good thinking

Thanks, motoguzzi's recommendation about making the curved washers take up the most space was the trick.
