Loose Atlas Bipod Adapter on a TRG?

[uracowman]

hey guys,

I have a quick issue that I had a question about. I recently purchased a brand new atlas BT10 bipod and the sako trg adapter for my rifle. While I was at the range today, I noticed that the picatinny rail portion on the underside of the adapter was a bit loose. Upon inspection, there was some play, but the screws that insert on the top side of the adapter that screw into the rail did not seem to be moving.

Is this normal? I just wanted to ask because I would have to take the barreled action off again to fix it if it wasn't.

When I tested the rail on my old TRG, there was no play. All 4 screws were tight.

Should be tight, locktite is your friend.

If it has threads and it's on a firearm, it needs locktite.
