Or rather I can, but when that tight all the rounds won't go in. How do y'all fit a clamp tightly enough not to slide, but not so tight that rounds can go past easily?
This is the SDS MAC2. |

Interesting... Probably a stupid question, but you do have the "spacer" that slides in between the barrel and mag tube, that sits between the two halves of the clamp? Is one side (or both) of the barrel clamp bent a little, therefore not clamp I ng down on the barrel/mag tube. I've not run into this on either of mine, but in for details. Good luck!

It's all in one piece. The original clamp did have the insert, but I stripped the screw trying to clamp it down so as not to slide. I got the SI to add a light (using a TLR 1). What clamp are you using? |

Well, I am just using what came with my MAC2, but that obviously does not accommodate your flashlight mount. Sorry, but good luck and let us know what you figure out!

This is the SDS MAC2. Mine had several problems, I sent it in for repair and they said it was so screwed up they couldn't fix it and sent me an M4 clone instead. I think mine was called like SDS Duo. |

Never had an issue with the factory M2 mag clamp moving. The factory benelli +4 mag tube also has a indentation in the tube where the mag clamp clamps!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Brawnydog: I'm wondering if it's because of the way I hold the gun, like I'm allowing too much movement in recoil. It's just odd that I seem to be the only person who has ever had a problem with the magazine clamp. You are not the only one.....Mag tube clamps moving forward under recoil has been a common issue for years. If the clamp fits the mag tube reasonably well some lapping compound or resin inside the clamp where it touches the mag tube can help hold the clamp in place. Double sided tape has been used too with varied results. The Nordic mag tube extensions with the clamping groove machined in them have been the most successful idea in keeping the clamp from sliding forward. |
