[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2664699, member: 10"] Likely it will work loose again. Only way i have found to properly prevent this from happening long term is to pin the rail to the receiver. Easy to do. When i started working with Defiance to build my Raptor receivers to my specs i demanded this to be done. Now they do it on all their Rebel receivers. Before this i was pinning the bases on Rem 700s and all custom receivers. For example, on my big XHS rifles use BAT and Stiller receivers mainly, install 3 or 4, 1/8” heat treated steel pins through the rails and into the receivers. Probably over kill as two would likely do the job but as with all my creations, overkill when it comes to strength and rigidity is a good thing. Simple fix, just pin the rail to the receiver and problem solved. Then you may need to deal with ring slippage on the rail next!! 😉 [/QUOTE]
