spandit Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 ...or at least that's what someone analysing the groups I was getting would think! Was trying to test the repeatability of my Picatinny mounts but think they need more than hand tightening as had a tendency to come loose. Really need to get a bolt action to replace the S/A... don't think I'd find another bargain Weihrauch like I did for my 17HMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Loctite #242 works on all my rails/mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 The rail is fine it's the fact I needed to change between day & night scopes without tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Are you sure you have picatinny rails and mounts not a mixture with weaver there is a slight difference but it makes a difference. More detail on the mounting kit your using may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 The Leupold Quick release mounts are quite sturdy but as above it may be the slight difference if you have a Weaver rail and Picatinny mounts or vice-versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Perhaps attach/weld some wing nut type things to your mount bolts so you can tighten them up better by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 They're actually nuts anyway so might be able to use normal wingnuts - will measure the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 A clamping system is better than nuts if you can find one you like as the tension is more consistent and therefore give less changes in poi form one change to the next.

Do you mean like a quick release mount with a lever? I do have some but the ones I'm using (with the nuts) have an additional Picatinny rail on top which is great for mounting a torch (which is held in the quick release mount as it happens...)

Bleeh Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I did once have a fully automatic .22lr after the Gunsmith trimmed the sear back too far (trying to make the trigger lighter).I wouldn't say It wasn't slightly entertaining, albeit worrying. (it went back the same day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 It would be fun for a very short space of time but with a 10 shot magazine it would get expensive and boring quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldwanderer Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I had an old remington speed master that could go full auto with the right adjustment, jammed after 3 though and was a bit wasteful really because all three went that quick they all went in a very tight group and didn't make anything any deader! Couldn't really tell the difference between the sound of 1 shot or 3. Shame it never emptied the magazine (15 in a tube along the barrel), i'd've liked to see that! Not that I made a habit of it, obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 An engineer in our pistol club turned his brand new SIG into full auto' by polishing the sear a bit too heavily. Very impressive but highly illegal and voided the warranty to boot. Brand new gun required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 A small part of the trigger mechanism on my Anschutz 525, that is specifically designed to stop it going full auto, jammed the other day but it stopped the rifle firing at all - quite a clever system really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I did once have a fully automatic .22lr after the Gunsmith trimmed the sear back too far (trying to make the trigger lighter). I wouldn't say It wasn't slightly entertaining, albeit worrying. (it went back the same day) Back in the days of freedom. I had a 1911 that did that with low power target loads. It was fun!
