Have your shell extractor tuned so it ejects more to the side. The scope mount sits so low it does it to most M1A's.

Well the Alum mount is cheaper and designed different from the steel mount. It mak not have the chamfered base to aid in bouncing shells away. Also don't know what ammo you use. I only use Mil surplus brass case ammo never had a problem ever. Also do you have gas relief turned on or off on gas tube? is the gas chamber clean nut tight? etc so that ejection is correct.

Mine will not hold a zero after 10 rounds in my M-44 Mosin Nagant. I will try loc-tite but have little hope of success.The scope does not appear to be moving at all and yet the point of impact moves several inches after every shot.The scope may be broken at this point.

George, I have two cantilever mounts and neither fit it. To be truthful even if one did I would not use the scope as I found it did not magnify properly nor did it focus sharp. It geives a real bad tunnel vision effect. I bowxed it up and threw it in my junk box of scopes rings and mounts. Did not cost enough for me to get upset over but I will not be ordering a BARSKA scope any time soon. good luck, Daniel

I checked the dovetail on the gun and it appears to be level so what I did is take the movable clamp on the sight off. Then I carefully filed the bottom making sure I kept it flat on the file. I did this a little at a time reinstalling it and testing until the cant was gone. The sight is a nice sight is nice but a better mount and adjustment arrows would have been nice.

Ihave mine on a 12 ga as well, it hasnt exploded or anything yet, seems to be holding up fine to recoil,the mount is solid and it seems like a stout design, overall.

I have mounted it on my AK 47 and it seems to be holding up realy well. i shoot about 200 rounds and it held the ajusment. NICE I got it for a rifle I am putting together to make a sniper rifle, a mosin nagant with a archangle stock. I figured I would try it on my AK and if it could handle it it might be able to withstand the Nagant, we'll see

It sits great. Problem is mine came canted. Checked on my WASR and Arsenal on both canted to the right same angle . I bought it to use with red dot so was able to fix it with that. I saw some people were complaining about rail being canted. I guess just my luck. Otherwise it sits nice and snug , very low above dust cover and holds zero. I hope that was helpful

MINE IS ROCK SOLID, i flipped my mounting bolts over to the left side, added a drop per bolt of red locktight and after getting it finger tight i ever so slightly tightened mine down a half turn or so past finger tight with a socket.. mines never budged. Even at finger tight mine was on pretty solid with no play or wiggle, is your rail aftermarket ? is it a el-cheapo or a quality rail ? is a factory rail on a AR ? im guessing the problem is not the optic.. however you never know. do other mounts fit you rail solid without issue ? contact Lucid.. they are flat out awesome to work with !

The Tumbler works great with all types of casing...,being .223 is one of the smaller rifle casing you will still have that issue...But fewer casing...I do combination water formula with hand full of zinc plated BBs,then cob to really polish the cases if even needed...check U-tube for some great videos on the subject...!!!

I believe the straps that go over the scope are steel but the mounts themselves are aluminum just like the rail that came with my 10/22. I don't have the gun in front of me but I'm pretty sure this is the case. hence the confusion in the description

This unit doesn't work at all with some Plated bullets with bottom cavity shields. The nose of the bullet hangs up on the lip of the cavity. I've had poor results using led bullets in this feeder. Finally You should make sure your power die is set to flange the case to accept the bullet to get good results As Wade answered u need to by the feeder kit for the caliber you use the most.

Not sure, I have this mounted on a vepr 308 and it sits just left of center. However, you can still see the iron sights through the center of the rail and it DOES hold zero on my 308! Any of these type of side mounts will most likely be off to one side or the other because of the wide variety and differences in AK's but if you have a good scope that difference want matter at all. It's a great scope rail at the price, also the side rail comes off to save some weight as well.

It has barrel droop, cut 2 shims out of a coke can and put them in the rear scope ring to lift the back scope up then it will match the barrel,I had to do it to mine. hope this helps.

I can't say. It may be the scope because a quality pellet exiting the rifled barrel at 1400 FPS should travel straight. The jolt when the gun is fired may shake up the scope mounting. I had this problem on another pellet rifle. The scope kept sliding back.

do you have a good mount? mine works well on my ar but a shotgun hits a little harder. I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

I don't think you need new mount all I know is that I got a different rifle scope for my L96 and it works perfect as far as this scope goes I really don't know if it will work with another mount. Hope that helped you

I didn't have this problem but I would suggest shimming the scope mount. Try loosening the mounts and re tightening, it might be a little skewed
