They must sell a ton of these. All I can say is I'm glad I ordered 2 extra when I stripped one out last weekend when I mounted my scope. Had another to just strip away with no torque at all. Believe me I know not to over-tighten and to use a criss- cross pattern, etc. I grew up around a machine shop so I know a little about grades of fasteners and steel. The screws furnished with these mounts are shit. Use a better supplier for your hardware please. That is all.

The same happen to me as well. I went to the hardware store and got some 8-32 1/4in screws grade 5 and some 1/2in long. I used the 1/2in to the hold the lock plates in place, and removed one screw from each plate and replace 1/4in in its place. Spent a little more on the grade5 screws but didn't have to wait on new screw from DSA. Hope this help.

May I suggest trying the ARMS mount. No screws to strip out and will not scratch your receiver. Mine holds zero when removed and replaced every time. Cheers, EMSflyer How does this mount adhere? I am looking at their web page w/ a photo of it but I don't see what makes it bind to the receiver. |

I don't have any pics ready to go right now and I'm going on duty soon so can't
fix one up for you. Go to: mountingsolutionsplus.com That's where I purchased my ARMS mount. One of my friends recently got one for his Para FAL there as well. You can see pics of the mount there. It's the ARMS #3 or ARMS #4 for the Para. There quite a few of us who use this mount on our FAL so if you look on the Arfcom FAL pics page you should see one. The ARMS mount has rivets alomg the sides instead of screws. Cheers, EMSflyer |
