[QUOTE="985, post: 333823"] Dear Gentlemen: If the ACI screw came loose on you, it is most probably because the screw was not torqued to the recommended 5 inch lbs of pressure. We have had several problems like this in the past, as an example, and as per our first contract with the British SAS, one of their Shooter's was on the roof top of their embassy in Baghdad and decided to take the ACI apart. When he reassembled it, he severely overtightened the screw to the point that he actually pulled the bearing through the drum. It was sent to me where I took a look at it, replaced the drum and reinstalled it onto my 6.5 x 284 where it sits today; nine years later, and in perfect working order. There has been a couple (and I mean a couple) of others that have asked for new screws due to the fact that they too had it loosen up on them, and a few others that have overtightened the screws so tight that they snapped them. The bottom line is that with thread locker applied to that one screw during assembly, two washers and one drum, there isn't a whole lot that can go wrong. But, if you would like to discuss our warranty against defective parts, please feel free to give me a call at (800) 651-1050. My Very Best Regards, Ward W.
