    Wet Mounting Scope Mounts - Where It All Started

    Just keep telling yourself that and torquing the screws home dry. Hundreds of pounds of tension against steel and anodized aluminum. The funny thing? It probably doesn't really matter, functionally, "results wise".

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Okay, so I have spent about 20 minutes with my PAS29B. I have not tested ALL the things, as the menu and options is far more complex than the TAD. However, a few things: -EVERYTHING WORKS! It powers on. It doesn't get stuck. The ABC works very well. -Again...EVERYTHING works! The menu has no...

    I'll have to stick with Hakan over Honda on this.

    So you're saying galled threads aren't slip and grip type variable?

    Does anyone (not China) make a fusion RDS/Thermal?

    Doc at work has the holosun. It was okay. Holosun is the only one made for shooters though. The rest are clown shoes.

    Okay bro, drop your biceps and front delt routine for the rest of us.

    Did you measure bolt stretch? How did you quantify that the tension was indeed equal? Dry on dry threads will result in un-equal torque across fasteners. The relationship between torque and tension is stabilized by lubricating the threads...

    All mounts move under recoil, is the premise.

    Can you name a time when this won't yield more consistent results?

    It reduces it, but it's still higher than steel/steel depending on the anodized surface. Lubricate threads and under the screw cap for even clamping force when using axial torque to approximate bolt stretch and joint compression

    SAI 10 1-10

    This is the first anyone has ever asked for SAI's reticle, lol! I'd much rather something like an FC-DMx. That said, it's 2025. No excuse for letting Primary Optics outshine you in illumination in the 4-figure price space.

    I'd love something like this from someone other than Holosun. https://holosun.com/products/reflex-sight/drs/drs-th.html

    No, but I did have an eye on it.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I just know people who have run them on the same set of binos and preferred the PAS29B's ability to filter, better. Regardless, this whole shoddy roll-out wasn't it for me. My PAS29B arrives tomorrow.

    It's a pretty well researched and understood relationship between friction and axial torque measurement vs compression/stretch, as well as the "slip and grip" nature of dry planar surfaces involved therein.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I am replacing my TAD with a PAS29B. Even when the TAD is fully sorted, I doubt they put in all the offsets the PAS29B gets, so I'll pay the extra ounce for those in a proven system.

    The wild card is that none of these should be solid joints (Arisaka's new mount not withstanding, or the bottom bolts in LT rings), so tube compression also comes into play. That is actually what keeps screws from backing out of these joints without loctite.

    I chemically de-grease tube and ring with acetone.

    Wet Mounting Scope Mounts - Where It All Started

    The friction will eat into your compression/stretch a LOT with anodize aluminum surface. This is why when you see screws removed from ring caps that had zero lube under the screw head, the aluminum is bare/ano torn off. All that force went into THAT instead of bolt stretch and tube compression...

    2025 SHOT Show Optics

    The last optic I insta-bought was an NX8 1-8 fcdmx. I've agonized over amd tried others, but have sold them.
