This is what I got a entreprise type 3. I can't seem to get my Steel Lock Plate holes to match w/the scope mount holes. I have to put the screw at an angle to get the plates to tighen up. This cause my bolt carrier to hit the Lock Plate and through my shoots off , glad I was shooting the cheap stuff. What can I do to fix this problem.
Thanks Stone |
Maybe I have some of these parts mixed up but if you are talking about the little plates that lock the scope base on the gun..3 on the left side and 2 on the right side(at least on my model) and your bolt is hitting the plates STOP shooting the gun. Your bolt should not be hitting these plates. Your bolt should be moving inside the gun nice and smooth. If your bolt is hitting the plates it means the mount is not on right. I suggest taking it off and remounting it. It may take some playing with the plates to get them lined up right. My first one went on my SA58 pretty easy. I just put another one on my new STG58 which seemed to take like 2 hours because the plates just did not want to line up right. As far as how to line them up I just kept trying to get them on right. I would test it by putting the bolt in. If the bolt hit then I knew the plate wasnt lined up right. This is based upon my expirence. Others here may have a better answers.
Note-I mean the bolt carrier when I was saying bolt. Why would you ever shoot your gun if you knew the bolt was hitting something during its cycle? or maybe I mis understood your question. |
| yeah the bolt carrier was hitting the locking plates on the inside left 3 plates. I have not had any problem with the bolt carrier with just the dust cover on the gun I was getting great 2.5inch groups form the sandbags. I have no worries with the gun itself., just the left side place. I look inside the gun after removing the BCG and show the three left plates and a line on them the same place as the BCG. I'll see what I can do tonight. |
| Get two 8-32 screws, 1/2" long. Get the plate started and then tighten it on with these, then swap out the factory screws one at a time. Correct me if I am wrong about the thread pitch, but, you get the idea. Also, use a soft mallet and make sure the mount is down all the way. Tap it down as you seat the plate. |
