Will's Review of Trijicon 30mm Scope Tube RMR Mount
Incredibly disappointed in this mount. Using the included screws, I got the screw in about 80% of the way and it sheared off inside the mount. The mount was already hosed, so as an experiment I did the other side and the same thing happened. Two possibilities here:
1. The included screws are so weak that they shear off under the torque of their own threadlocker. Maybe a bad batch of screws? I hadn't even gotten out my torque wrench yet (because I hadn't gotten the screws even close to fully tight).
2. The included screws are too long, or the mount was insufficiently tapped. There are some holes in the bottom that look like they're intended to allow the screws to pass through, but it looks as though they're only tapped for part of the way down, and I'm not sure they're wide enough to let the screw keep going.
The second screw sheared off high enough that I could twist it out with pliers, and I was able to test this with a third-party screw that was slightly shorter. No issues whatsoever.
I gave Trijicon support a call and they made it sound like they were going to mail me a replacement part right away, and I would have been happy with that. However, a few hours later, they send me an email telling me to mail back the part, and to allow *8 weeks* for processing. WTF?
Even if this was a $30 chinese mount I would be disappointed, but this is truly embarrassing for the price.
