shooterDrew Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Did you put it on the correct direction? I don't know what the shim looks like, but could that be possible? I went full retard. After thinking about this the rest of the day I swapped it and reversed the shim and went out back and woke up the neighbors. Sure enough the shim is now doing what it's supposed to and looks like I'll have plenty of room in adjustment to zero. Whew, being dense can really make an easy task difficult.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Shims should work as they should counter the angle, it sounds like you got a heck of an angle on that mount. Can you double them up? *Didn't read the last post. It seems like you got it figured out. Excellent! Edited December 10, 2016 by abb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterDrew Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Shims should work as they should counter the angle, it sounds like you got a heck of an angle on that mount. Can you double them up? As with most issues it was user error. I incorrectly installed the shim initially. When properly installed it did in fact correct the issue and my gun is now zeroed with room to spare on adjustments in either direction. Sorry for confusion.

shooterDrew Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 One further issue I encountered (this one not totally my fault).... the screws provided with the jp shims were an incorrect diameter. They were very close and allowed themselves to be threaded on, but a few Range sessions later I found the optic completely loose and rattling from the mount. I ended up going to a local fastenal and they ordered me the correct sized / length screw based on the original screws diameter and the new length that I needed. THIS finally appears to be the complete resolution to my issue. Shims worked, but needed an 18mm length screw in the original mount hardware size- m4 .7 according to fastenal. Whew. Glad this is done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
