Wet Mounting Scope Mounts - Where It All Started

[JWG]

I think you’re completely missing the point, which doesn’t surprise me, but I just need clarification on something. Are you trusting Hakkan to build you a Honda engine?

Lol, no, just like I'm not using honda transmission case bolts as a case study on how to tighten ring cap screws. I'm relying on KAC, Hakan, Geissele, and Nightforce for advice, there.

You shouldn’t lump Hakan in with quality mount manufacturers.

 

[JWG]

Are we really comparing a Swedish redneck to a literal army of engineers informing a corporation that puts an astronomically higher quantity of fasteners into service daily?

Were comparing a transmission case removal for reman repair effort to ring cap screws, so why not?

 

[JWG]

This may be, but they do agree on that one point. Lube the screws.

But you are using blanket statements for things that aren’t simple enough to be covered by blanket statements, and that’s why you’re having such a hard time.

Can we skip the dick-measuring contest, and get back to the original topic?

Some dude is talking about transmissions. I'm talking about scope mounting. He does this in every thread about the topic. I don't care about how much money he made fixing busted Hondas. This is about scopes. Trying to find some esoteric bullshit like tranmission casings in an attempt to provd the exception to the rule is absurd. Okay. Ive been proved wrong. IF I ever buy some old tech gas car, I'll remember...if it's a honda. Don't lube trans case bolts. Happy?

Let’s just cut the bs

Lube or not. The most reliable scope out there is a nightforce in a Nightforce mount.



And Spuhr shouldn’t be a consideration. They break way too much. And are over priced

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.

The Importance of Using Thread Lubricants in Bolted Connections

In any industrial plant, there can be thousands of bolted connections, primarily in the flanged connections throughout piping systems, on packed stuffing boxes on pumps and valves, and on heat exchanger covers, for example.

There is a preponderance of data suggesting strongly that lubricated threads produce a more consistent relationship between torque and tension.

Carol Shelby was well aware of this.

Yes, and I mount my Nightforce scopes exactly how Nightforce recommended. Loctite the ring cap screws.

There’s an off chance our dear @308pirate has been pulling T H E I S-grade shenanigans for years.

But I doubt it.

I think @E. Bryant (among others) would have caught him by now.

@JWG are you, ah, an engineer by trade?

No, so I consult relevant engineers and or SMEs.

4 pages and you don’t know whether to lube or not? Come on man you got to lube! Lube the base, lube the rings/mount and lube the ring cap screws. If you don’t the rifle loses zero if you sneeze on it or if you slam your unlubed Honda door near it! Lol

Well, here he is over half a decade ago talking about Honda transmissions again trying to equate it to the topic at hand.

Honestly. By the time I mount it , no lube is needed
