I have a Atlas Bipod with the ADM fast attach lever mount. It is getting loose and will not clamp the rifle to the rail as tightly as it did when new. The one screw on the assembly does not tighten at all. Anybody have a solution to fix this?
Atlas Bipod ADM Lever getting loose

Is the mount/lever OPENED when you are trying to adjust it?? If not, the nut doesn't protrude from the base of the mount and it WILL NOT turn as it is locked in place by the flats on the nut that seat into the base of the mount.
Open the lever up and the nut should protrude allow you to turn the screw. Try turning it a couple flats at a time until it tightens up snugly on your rail. If that won't get it done, try posting a couple pics of the assembly. It is possible that something may be causing the clamping mechanism to bind up and not get full purchase on your rail or it could otherwise be damaged in some way.
Mine has an adjustment, take it off the rifle push on the lever to take the tension off the screw on the other side you should be able to adjust it then. It's a slotted nut, but won't turn till there isn't any tension on it.
Remove the bipod.
Flip the lever to the open position.
Press the lever in, compressing the springs.
The hex nut on the other side of the mount should protrude and be easily adjustable with your fingers.
Tighten/loosen the nut till the mount clamps the rail at the tension you like.
Easy no tool adjustment, you just have to know the trick.
