Anyone else having problems with the locking latch on their 308 switch rail? I have the Rainier branded version and the damn latch pops open after a few rounds. I have tightened it to factory recommended ft/pounds and it still does it, I tightened it a little more and tried a little less and it still pops open. It closes and locks up nice and tight, but when I bump the front of the latch even slightly it comes open. Anyone else have this issue? Rainier told me to talk to Fortis, but its been a week and they haven't returned my email or call. This makes it completely unusable since my entire front end can come falling off my rifle without notice.

Does the latch click when you close it all the way?
