dieb4iwake 60 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 So i took my RS AKM Mount off my 7.62 and put it on my S12. I have an Aimpoint M2 on so I wasnt worried about the recoil. About 70 rd in the lever that tightens the mount to the side rail pooped off and the the ring and another piece flew off. Anyone else use this set up or a similar one? Any ideas? I really like the set up and would like to keep it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

20nickels 21 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I am not an RS owner but I believe this issue is covered in the provided instructions just to clarify for anyone else reading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joebanda1213 59 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I absolutely love mine I really think ist a game changer for the ak platform. I have been using it on my sgl31 but I have been really interested in putting it on my s12 and slinging some slugs I just don know if my shoulder can handle sighting in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parf 19 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 So? What is the verdict? Is the mount having any problems with the 12g recoil? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dieb4iwake 60 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Nope Works like a charm. Horse sent me a replacement part and now it works wonderfully. 200 rds and as tight as the moment i put it on. i had a bad retaining clip. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mephis 82 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Just remember to loctite practically everything on a gun if it has a screw or can shift under recoil. Use red loctite on scope ring screws, and blue on any working threads, meaning ones you plan on removing once in awhile. If you NEVER want to remove the screw again use green loctite, but it's going to be practically welded on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Green is for press fitting, Blue for removable threads, Red for permanant threads. I recommend using blue thread locker on the 4 ring bolts and 2 adjustment bolts. Mine have not budged a fraction since initial installation using blue over a year ago. Nothing on the mounts is recoil sensative except the actual optic clamp ring - as a very nature of all rings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Kilo 42 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Mines always been fine, I did put a light bend in the locking piece just from common sense to give it more bite Quote Link to post Share on other sites
