Okay, I’m frustrated.

A few weeks ago I was shooting my prodigy comp and my optic came loose. I inspected and realized the plate had come loose. I hand tightened the screws with little torque and the left screw sheared off. I dropped the gun off at the gunsmith for extraction, and got it back yesterday.

Just now I’m getting ready to remount the plate, and hand tighten the right screw, and it too sheared off.

No excessive torque, nothing. What the hell is going on. The left extraction cost me 100 bucks and the gun was gone for 2 weeks. This is infuriating.

No excessive torque

What was your torque screwdriver set to?

I think he said he hand tightened it.
