| I posted this in the Larue forum but didn't get any responses. On the LT-150, how tight is tight enough on the ring screws? Obviously tight enough to keep if from moving but how do ya'll achieve this without over tightening and causing damage with the supplied tool not a torque screwdriver? |
Just tighten them equal as possible top to bottom back to top and so forth until they "feel" good and tight. Do not tighten all one side then the other, just hit them all in small tugs till all are tight. Hard to explain how tight.. ...you just know. Use the small end on the torque head and apply pressure on the long shaft.

| Tighten the bottom two screws first getting them as tight as you can with the small end of the wrench as the lever. Adjust the scope to the desired position and then tighten the top two screws the same as the bottom. Don't forget the Loctite. Personally, I use a torque wrench and torque the screws to 15 in/lbs. The Larue mount has steel screws and steel inserts so torquing to 15 in/lbs won't do any harm. I won't use the torque wrench on all aluminum mounts, though, as it can strip the screw holes. Allen or Torx wrench only. |
