[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 1398957, member: 103471"] So I bought one of those hi dollar Night Force extreme duty 20moa steel rails. It had a bow in it, from shipping, maybe, and I dry fit it to see how it would act with screws in it. One on each end seemed to straighten it out ok. Mixed up a batch of Devcon(decided to make it a permanent part of the action((hope that don't bite me in the arse later)), and stuck it on. Yup. I did. Backwards. Thank goodness for 45min pot life. I noticed it about 20mins after sticking it on. Yanked it off, flopped it around, and I had to put all 4 screws in it to get it flattened out again. Kept working the screws, and ultimately, they were all pretty much torqued, or so I thought. Got the scope back on today , had to remove the optic from the rings and start over. All done, ring screws torqued again, the second torqueing on them litty bitty screws. Now, should I take those out and thread lock them? Pulling 25in/lbs on them makes me nervous. If I do them again, that will be full torque for the third time. Suggestions invited. [/QUOTE]
