Rifle Scopes Aadmount covers won't snap close????

[stradibarrius]

I have a Kahles 624 with Aadmount covers that won't close. I ordered them from Aadmount for the Kahles 624 and the installed easily with a perfect fit but when I try to snap them closed the cap portion will not snap closed around the mount portion. I don't won't to file or grind if I don't have to.
Any ideas?

I've got a set on an athlon cronus. They snap closed hard.

I had a set delivered a few months ago for my MK5HD that wouldn't pop open. I got an email back from him stating to lightly oil the ridge that they snap over and they will loosen up. Worked like a charm and they're typical Aadland quality caps now.

Also, there is a code on the body of the cap (I don’t know what exactly it is for your specific scope) that will generally indicate the brand of scope (and I think the objective/ocular bell diameter) the cap/body was made for. IIRC, it is in the 4:00 or 5:00 o’clock position. You probably do have the right one though. Generally, Aadmounts are very tight, particularly right out of the box. And yes, typical Aadland quality.

You gotta put out. The set I have are tight SOB’s. You cant hurt anything.
