I had to remove the latch to instal the scope and I am concerned that there is more play in the latching mechanism on the bottom than before. There were no instructions on using it so I just assumed you had to remove the latch. I guess I am just asking if anyone has experience with these things and is a little play underneath normal? Upon latching it locks up tight to clarify. I am not sure if I am supposed to "torque" the screws back in or to what in/lbs setting. If anyone has any knowledge or experience with these please let me know!

Re: Did I break my Bobro QD mount?
Did you get the mount used? They give you a short right handed allen wrench to tighten down the screws that sit above the latch.
But with the Bobros, there should be 0 movement with the mount just sitting on the rail without being locked down. And needless to say, there is no movement when it'ts locked down.

Re: Did I break my Bobro QD mount?
No it was brand new and there is no movement whatsoever anywhere when its on the rail locked down or not. I am just concerned that I removed the latch and might not have torques down those bolts to spec when it re-attcahed the latching mechanism. . They did give me the allen wrench but they also ask you to torque them to 12-20in/lbs so to do that I removed the latch and used a small torque wrench. Probably not necessary I see now. It is rock solid I just want to be sure I didnt do anything by removing the latch. Maybe just some locktite on the screws holding the latch?

Re: Did I break my Bobro QD mount?
You should be fine. There is internal tension on the screws so it should be tight without it.

Thanks Bacarrat I appreciate the responses!
I dealt in a casino for 12 years, just thought I'd throw that random fact out there seeing as your screen name is the game I hated dealing the most lol.

Re: Did I break my Bobro QD mount?
The only thing I have problems with is figuring out what my commission is. I know it's half and drop the 0 is what a dealer told me when I use to play all the time. I have always like playing it and seeing the money put down. There goes a NF scope on the table. Putting Schmidt and Bender size bets wasn't out of the norm either. One day when I have my bankroll and stop spending money on stupid shit like guns, I want to start playing again like the degenerate asian gamblers lol

Re: Did I break my Bobro QD mount?
Lol I played for the first few years I was in the business and used to play fairly large myself till I learned my lesson.. Commission is 5% of the bet here. I had a few nights that would have bought some nice guns but I like this hobby a little better. Although I don't think it's any cheaper....
