nofrontsight Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Just trying to find out if this was a fluke, or if this is common with the carver mounts. Shot the double tap championship this last thursday, first match with this mount. By end of match I noticed the threaded area around the trigger pin screw had completely disappeared. Inner diameter was rounded off, outside diameter looks like it was slotted for a nut. Their appears to be no damage to the threads on the screw. Anyone else experienced this with carver's mounts?

ZackJones Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I've run mine in several matches and have had the screw back out but I've never lost the nut like you did. I just keep an allen wrench handy and tighten it between stages. I can't seem to get locktite in there good enough to keep the screw from backing out.

nofrontsight Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thats the weird thing, the screw never budged. It stayed tight up against the right side of the mount. Almost like the nut just fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Call Bobby Carver, he's always been pleasant to deal with in my experience. I'm going with a fluke failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrontsight Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I got off the phone with them a little bit ago, should be sending a replacement panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I had a similar thing happen to one of my Carver mounts. Bobby was great to work with and replaced it quickly. When you install it, clean the pin with alcohol and the items the pin passes through with alcohol as well. Clean the nut with alcohol. Let dry. Slide pin into place but don't thread into nut. Drop blue Loctite into nut. Tighten bolt, unscrew it and tighten again. Wipe off excess Loctite then let it cure over night and it will stay tight. Just don't over tighten or you will pinch the trigger. Edited June 14, 2016 by igolfat8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Replace with a nylon nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
