First Report:
Mount went on without any difficulty. I had to file the dovetail piece that replaced the clip guide a little as it comes oversize but not much.
The instructions were a bit skimpy and could have used some illistruations but were understandable.
When I went to shoot the first time, I had a problem:
I would get a stovepipe malfunction about every 5 rounds. The old piece of crap aluminum mount did the same thing.
I decided to try and see if it was my rifle. BTW, the rifle works 100% without the mount.
I replaced the extractor and have since fired 100 or so rounds with zero malfunctions.
It was the original extractor and not the mount, the rifle is now 100% functional with the mount.Now that everything is tightened down, I was able to shoot this two inch eight shot group (at 100 yards) with 1990 Australian F-4 Ball.
Am I happy? Yes!
Am going to try it at 300-400m this weekend as my Port 7.62 is due in tommorow.
Initial reaction? A good mount for sure. I am very pleased with my purchase.
The only thing I did different from the instructions was that I took an old copper penny and file it smooth. Then I put it between the front set screw and the reciever bridge to protect the finish on the receiver.
