chris o Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 hi all. got a 90k in .22 cal and had it out for the first time in a while and just checking the zero and was fine then after 5 shots the mounts were sliding off the back of the rails. tryed pushing it forward and it wouldnt and i couldnt slide it back myself. so obviosly with the bit of recoil it gave it was pushing it backwards off the gun. now i have been looking on the internet and came across some sought of stop that looks like it sits in the rails and something that goes into a hole were can i get these from? and what else can i do to stop it sliding back again? i dont want to over tighten them wich is what i have been told not to do. but what can the one piece mounts do as heard they can stop it sliding? thanks for your help guys. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double screw are best. As for a 'stop' i have a set of double screw mounts which have a grubscrew in the base of one. I am assuming this is standard. cheers shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 its most likely your existing mounts are fitted incorrectly, impossible to diagnose directly by the description- show it to someone who knows and it will take 5 mins to sort. Stop studs are generally not required if the mounts are of decent quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duncan Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I've never had to use a recoil stud to date on any rifle I've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickanles Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 hi, my old hw 90 is fitted with a 1 piece dampa mount, i think its the way to go with the gas ram actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albion Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 If the mounts are half decent, you should be able to tighten the screws enough to stop them moving. Takes a firm crank sometimes, but you're not likely to damage the rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 hat that issue with every single one of mine at some stage, I got told to desemble it and then put the mounts on but space them really far appart as far as is possible without wrecking the mounts then tighten, iff you dont catch this quickly it can stripp the mounts and then the vibrations can destroy the scope as i pointed out to my mate, who learnt the hard way and had to buy a new one. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YROCK Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 hi, my old hw 90 is fitted with a 1 piece dampa mount, i think its the way to go with the gas ram actions. I agree a dampamount is best for use on a rammer.In time it could damage your scope with normal mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
