Sorry for taking so long to respond, I had to file and grind the bottom to get the bolt to move back and forth, after that it has worked great, had it at the range twice!

Had the same problem. This part is trash it's not built to the correct tolerances and it's not even straight. Get the nc star one. I did it was cheaper, easier to file and fits amazing

If you have to struggle to pull the bolt back and must push the bolt into battery,I think that the mount is too tight. How snug a fit did you make it? If you filed the base of the mount you may have taken too much off. How easily did the bolt move before with the standard cover? I think that this is a good question for Survivor's SKS board ( www.sksboards.com ) on-line blog.

I had the same problem with mine. Did a ton of filing and ultimately threw the whole thing out. Crappy fit. Dont waste your time. A machine shop couldn't pull off that miracle.

I had one that was hard to remove but a little force got it loose. I think the manufacturer doesn't set the tolerances well in manufacturing causing them to be hard to install or remove. Good luck.

Contact the company. I had a packaging issue with my mount and they were super in fixing the problem. When you contct the company, they will have someone call you back. Quick response.

I had a similar issue after about the first week; there are couple of set screws (2 in each I believe) in each of the mounts that you can tighten. It worked for me. I hope this helps.

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.

You should be able to pop the top cover off the bolt for the hinge and tighten it up. I hope this helps. If not i will try to give you a bettter fix. I have not personally had this problem.

It gets stuck almost everytime I needed to charge it. Just waiting a few minutes and try to remove it. Good luck, mine just fell apart.

I would pesonaly remove the 1/4 screw and use the screw that is on the battery grip to replace the origional place of the stock 1/4 screw mount. The only issue i could find with this is have the connection from the battery grip not being able to reach from a gap that will occur from the magnetic mount. Hope this helps!

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

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 have two of these mounts installed in 400mm configurations and know not of which nut you are speaking. Looking at my installations right now, all my nuts are too the backside (LOL) and none of them are exactly flush.

I had some difficulty in getting mine mounted too. It was a matter of making sure everything of the device was properly seated on the trigger guard before I could get the screws to go in.

Well David...I will try. Having thought about the many ways this device can be mounted, it's no wonder they weren't included. 2by4, 4by4, wall mounted. I read that one guy mounted it on a short 2by4 then clamped it in a vice when he needed it. I can tell you that when I went to the hardwarre store to get bolts, I thought the holes were 3/8". I was off by 20 thousanths (to large). Im going to drill it to accommodate the larger bolts. Best advice (what I should have done) is to take the device to the store and try sizing it there. Now...how ar you going to mount it is the question. What kind of bolt & how long. If it is a wall you might want to use a "lag screw". But make sure to drill into a stud to get max strength. Good luck.

I noticed that too and that's the reason I don't use it. Everytime I pump a shell in it, the screw would scrape my bolt. I'd rather a have no mount then a messed up bolt

I had a similar issue with mine as well. I had to really squeeze the housing together to get the screw to start. Can't be anymore help than that

I noticed one of the bolts became a little bit loose after a particularly strenuous work out. I removed all of the bolts, used a little Loctite and put the bolts back in and tightened them. No more bacing out bolts. I hope this helps.

Yes,remove the little bolt across before you install it and put it back(and tight it firmly),after you install the device!You'll be very satisfied!
