JP5 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was tracing down grouping problems when I noticed I had some play between the Burris P.E.P.R and my upper receiver rail, without finding any instructions or other people having the same issue I went and took the mount off and realized that the quick throw levers can be tightened. There are nuts on the reverse side that have a spring loaded pin holding detents in the nuts from working loose, if you press the qd levers in to the mount to move the nuts away from the pin the nuts can be tightened until the qd levers close with enough force or tight enough to your rail for your satisfaction. I tightened each of mine approximately 180 degrees, no play now. This can be really beneficial if your rail is worn or out of specs. Hope this helps someone with similar problems.

inrut Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Watch the detent in the qd lever as if you get them too tight you will be in the middle of a match and the lever will pop open.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyChris Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I had problems with mine holding zero, too many problems as a matter of fact. I sold mine for some regular mounts at a 1/4 of the price. Much more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLTD Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 JP5 you are correct. I adjusted mine so that both levers have the same tension and ever since then the mount has served me well even going back and forth between two uppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP5 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yeah, when I update my scope (MTAC 1-4x) to either a vortex 1-6x or a leupold multigun 1-6x I will get a larue mount. Until then I will make the P.E.P.R mount work. I will keep an eye on the levers, I was worried about them being under too much tension (I had them tighter than I do now when I first figured this out).
