Anyone's ARMS rings not tight to the rail? I have 2 pairs that seem like they take minimal effort to clamp them to the upper receiver. Feels like they would slide back and forth with recoil. I have another pair of ARMS that are tight as fuck to that rail, and my eotech 553 with ARMS mount, I need a flathead screw driver to unclamp them. Wondering if I could just like put some loctite or something to help keep it in place. I don't see any way to tighten them

They do make adjustable levers that allow you to create proper tension. Probably not clone correct but I certainly wouldn't care. When I briefly had my Elcan I had to use a scewdriver to pry the levers off the upper. Unacceptable on a $2k optic. The problem is that the ARMS mount was integrated with the optic. |

I don't see any way to tighten them View Quote You can add a layer of tinfoil/ thin metal or tape to the inside of the lever tab that rests against the receiver, might be worth a shot if that's not too jerry rigged for your taste. Also the mk II levers are pretty cheap directly from arms. It's really hit or miss with how tight they'll be on a receiver depending on how worn the rings and/or receiver are. Still with a loose connection on 22's you can slide the front ring as far back with rearward pressure as possible and then clamp it in place, and the rear ring as far forward as possible and clamp it in place, and it'll lock up pretty solid with the scope tightened down. I do that each time I use these rings but I also test them against receivers to find that tight fit before matching them with a build. My 553 thankfully has stayed fairly tight, there aren't many options available with those besides upgrading the levers or rigging it up. |

They're the only place I see it in stock for 600 per 1k rounds. Many people have excellent results with it. The consensus seems to be that you lose a small (if any) bit of performance for a significant price difference compared to Black Hills, making it excellent training and hunting ammo. As far as that vendor, they're persona non grata here for reasons I'm not totally up on, but I've never personally heard complaints. |

With MK262, the spec round that was designed for this gun you get a wealth of free knowledge in the form of published data. Roll back back a few pages and there's an awesome chart a few guys posted. The other weekend I ran some MK262 I had for the first time. Zeroed at 100 and went straight to 300m. First round hit on a 6" plate using published data. Consider the rounds it takes to build a good DOPE book, that's priceless. |

Contemplating painting my Mod 1 but not sure which direction to go. I am a fan of solid colors but they don't seem to get much love in the 12s, everyone tends to favor camo patterns. Is there a reason behind this?
I'm thinking Magpul FDE, if not because I have 2 unused cans of Alumahyde 2 |

Who is everyone's go-to supplier for the MK262 "clone" rounds? Whether it be black hills, the CBC, or IMI. I'm trying to find some that is in stock to shoot a new build and stock it.

View Quote Black Hills isn't 'clone' rounds, it's THE round. The red box 5.56 77 OTM is new production MK262 for the civilian market. Just doesn't have a mark designation cause well, it's the civilian market. That said, check out Old Virginia and Triad Tactical for the real deal. |

The only part I am having difficulty finding now is a second sleeve. I had intended to only build a late mod 0 until I got the wheeled fsgb. Now I need to do both early and late. |
