| Just put Tango Down Scar panels on my LMT MRP CQB and for the most part am very happy with them, they provide good grip and a low profile on the rail, however they will move a little bit on the rail. Is this normal? I can deal with it if its normal or is there some kind of fix for this. By looking at it closely it seems if the locking tab were slightly larger this would fix the issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
Something else to try: I didn't like the gap between panels when installed. I usually like to keep a small 2" panel at the front of all sides for when I need my light and bipod. If you trim just the right amount off, you can get them to be seamless and lock tightly together as in the photo below. I used a chop saw to ensure a clean square cut and quick shaving down to size, but I imagine you could do it by hand if you were very careful.

| Straight from the horses mouth. I didnt like the amount of movement on mine and emailed TD asking if they could be tightened. They told me to use a soldering gun or woodburner and put dimples into the section that grabs the back of the rails, ie the part that is farthest from the outside of the panel. That really does work for making the panel friction fit to the rail. Each dimple displaces the plastic around it and creates a raised section on the panel. Same basic principle as shimming. I used the same method to make the tab that fits into the rail slots a little wider. Just hit it on the side/corner. It will cure all fore/aft movement of the panel. |
