How do I get this item installed, my AR is not threaded?

This only works on threaded muzzles. You would need to take your gun to a gun smith or buy a barrel that has a threaded muzzle.

You would need to thread your barrel, a gun smith or machine shop could do that.

You will need a threaded barrel .have yours threaded or replace barrel with on that is

Zamer .. it has been a while and I am up north and the unit is in our condo in Florida, but if I remember correctly, some rods have threaded inserts that the fasteners will screw into and some are just spacers with no threaded insert.. make sure that you accidenatly don't have them mixed up.. good luck (I don't have the paperwork with me .. sorry)

You have to modify the rail not the gun. You can use a dremel. It's easy, you will see it once you try to put the rail on the gun. Once you do that the rail fits very snug, not an issue

It either screws on via a threaded nozzle or it has a quick release nozzle. If you can't do either, your gun may need to be replaced (older technology).

Mike,I had the EXACT same problem for a day or so. Then, for some unexplained reason, the stars aligned, and it seated correctly (while I was making a video to email to Lucid to demonstrate problem, no less). Try turning the square bolts 90 degrees, 1 at a time, and check seating after you turn each one. For me, it was the REAR bolt that was giving me problems. Try mounting it on different rail spaces, too. Let Lucid know, ASAP, tho, so its documented. They told me (the "founder"), that they never heard of this problem. LOL. Mine sits tight now...go figure. Good luck.

there are holes on the top for a mount bracket. you might need to buy it from the ruger manufacturer.

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 !

I'm afraid I'm stumped on that. Did your Ruger come with a factory barrel? How far out of alignment are the holes? Did you try turning the mount the other way? :)

You have to remove the sight but not the mount! It is advertised to be changed without having to re-sight the dot.Installation Remove the two screws holding the DeltaPoint to the base and turn the sight upside down. Place the Torx wrench or a screwdriver in the notch and gently pry the battery loose. Insert a new battery as described earlier. The precision pins eliminate the need for any re-adjustment.Installation

I also had a problem with the rail that was related to the quick release. You need to ensure the screw and nut combination is set right to get a good solid bite on the rail. Play around with it till you get a secure fit.

I used this to mount a red dot for the same problem that you are describing. The AR I mounted it on has an integrated front iron sight. Like you are describing it interferes but I am not going to be the fool that screws with a iron sight from the SigSauer factory. This rail perfectly raises the sight just above the front sight so that the sight is usable and not a problem. This is definately the way to go. Hopefully I have answered the question let me know if not.

Installing them may require a gunsmith. The first problem is removing the factory sights. I couldn't, so I went to the gunsmith. He said they were awful to take off, and then had to mill the new ones down to get them in.

I was going to put it on my ar15 with the Piccadilly railsbut I can't put it on if I don't have it still waiting

You would need an adapter if you are attaching it to a picatinny rail if your AR is furnishing a quad rail. I personally use the picatinny (weaver) rail to swivel stud conversion made by Yankee Hill Machine.

Mine didn't fit as stock from the factory. Minor modification took about 10 minutes with a pencil and powered ultrasonic cutter. Dremel with cutting wheels would work as well. The spine above the site channel needed to be cut down to fit my optic mount. Finish it off with a small file or some sand paper... My M&P; CORE has a Burris Fastfire III mounted on it.

Yup, standard AR threading. It is a solid aluminum tube, with a quarter inch hole for the bullet to travel through mind you, so its a bit on the heavy side. Good for fun but nothing serious, obviously. I thought about boring it out with a drill press to make it hollow and a lot lighter, but that would be work. Looks nice though.

You must have a basic mounting alignment issue, I agree any archery center should be able to help you out quickly
