Problem with Grenadier COP mount

Trumpet · June 29, 2006, 14:36

Hey all,
I just got mine today in the mail. It fits tight on the upper, BUT it's very hard to completely close the rifle. I found that if I give it a light "whack" with a rubber mallet, it closes up the rest of the way. Is this normal?

Thanks

Rich

That's how it should fit.

That's not how mine fits but it is very tight and no front to back movement, with just a little daylight comming through on the front non-ejection side, but tight up top. They made sure they fit most popular receivers so there may be a little variance here and there. Mine is on a non-carry handle cut DSA.

I got mine yesterday, too. It went on my, no CHC, DCI with a little palming. Fits snug, and I did have to give a little extra into closing up. I figure thats a good thing, as I'm sure it will wear into position.

A nice tight fit is a good thing as long as you can still remove it.

I have an ARMS #4 on my para.

I had to slam it shut with gusto to get it to close. Actually distorted the nose of the mount just a bit when it finally closed.

Fits tight as hell now. Good to go.

Cool. Good to know my setup isn't FUBAR.
