Anyway, I have never had that problem, and the new ones have a different, more secure way of attaching the clamp to the trigger sticks. When you say 'the bolt holding the clamp pulled through', what bolt do you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hi Steve the bolt that go into the clamp from the fitting on the trigger sticks i had the same thing happen on mine and no they wasn't off you off eBay they held good for about 3 yrs then all of a sudden the nut that is in the 3d printed clamp became lose and pulled out causing the rifle to fall to the ground backwards all i am saying is never let the rifle be free standing i used to do it as well until i seen my mate get shot i was there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clamps now being sold have helicoil inserts which are much stronger than nuts. It's also important to make sure that the rifle is balanced correctly, so that there's no weight pulling on the 'nut'. The clamps are made with Nylon, reinforced with Carbon fibre.

Rim Fire Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Steve i think a lot of the problem was using the sightmark wraith they are weight heavy on the back end not like a normal scope so you cant balance the rifle as easy would like to see a copy of the one you using please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andy, Fully opened it's 60mm and fully closed, 40mm. The jaws have 'cushions' that will grip the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did mean that on one of them, the magazine was covered but this didn't cause any problem or inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I have been sent two more if anyone is interested. These clamps are very sturdy and have been reinforced with carbon fibre for extra strength. They've been tested vigorously to make sure that they are good enough to sell.
