Re: aac 7.62-SD WTF?

When I first went up to the shop to try my 762SD on my rifle after the can transferred down to my dealer, I may have experienced what you are seeing. When I screwed the can on, it hit and stopped hard BEFORE the spring-arms rode up on the 18-tooth portion of the mount. I thought something was wrong, but after looking at it I decided that the "bottoming out" sensation was just the new, tight spring-legs hitting, but not climbing up the 18-tooth shoulders. I twisted much harder in the tighten direction and, voila! it ran right up and the spring legs seated fine. When I took it off, I could see a distinct new scuffed/sheared edge to the spring legs where they first contact the 18-tooth portion of the mount. Ever since they "wore in" that first time the can has screwed on and off with what feels like the perfect amount of tension.
I know it sounds goofy, but try screwing it on harder? Maybe even dab a little grease on the spring legs where they contact the 18-tooth AND on the 18-tooth shoulders where the spring legs ride.
I'd bet money that's your problem!
The out-of-square condition would be explained by one of the spring-legs hitting before the other (but not riding up over) the 18-tooth shoulder and kicking the can to one side. </div></div>
From the pics I can see nothing wrong, but I se where it doesn't seat all the way.. Try screwing it on more... Let us know..
