MDI SLR receivers come loose.

Why are you such a shill. Its clearly a loser's strategy to delete criticism of their product.

Show me where A small product site which hasn't had the negative comments removed. I can agree with contructive criticism as it is helpful but reading most of them I can see it's only about tearing a strip off.
 
They still have not adressed the screw issue. They have not come up with any solutions other than telling clients to buy nordlock washers...and dont even point out what size actually fits.

Theyre just a couple of greedy losers.
 
I'm not saying who I'm directing this at but I don't think it's hard to figure out

The only solution I’ve been able to find is to buy a small rubber o ring to put on the take down screw, or to use loc-tite. You’re right that they haven’t offered up a solution to anyone though. Those suggestions came from owners of the rifle. Pretty lame solution for a $1000 receiver set.
 
My SLR has been very accurate and 100 percent reliable. Sure take down pins would be better but it's a nr semi that is available right now. Haters gonna hate.
 
Lol for all the people that still think a screw is a "design flaw", I just came across this stuff. It's intended purpose matches this scenario perfectly.

Vibra-tite VC-3

I haven't had a single issue with mine, but there's gotta be something going on with some of these sets. Incorrectly installed heli-coils, maybe misalignment between surfaces, who knows. I don't think people are making this #### up.
 
Guys honestly. I cant stop laughing at all these tears....stop being little #####es and use your brain. If you didnt want a bolt assembly you shouldn't have bought one.
I've posted this before, I'll post it again.
I use these on my snowboard bindings, which would previously come loose multiple times daily. They're robust and reusable.

If you like crying and whining about the product YOU chose then be my guest.
However, if you would rather find permanent solution instead, then I could probably hook you up. If you dont want a solution then quit whining about it, because it just makes you look like an idiot.

Mine is also reliable and accurate. Not complaining about the accuracy or reliability. I'm talking about that there is an issue with the take down screw for alot of people and MDI doesn't want to address it other than telling people to use some loc-tite. There's got to be a better solution than loc-tite is what I am getting it. I suppose maybe the o-ring.
 
I am 100% fine with the screw for the take-down. If I wasn't, I would have held out and waiting for the MS set. All I want is a rifle that I can trust wont some lose and fall apart while I am shooting, or have the take down screw back out and fall out in the field when im walking around. The retaining pin only holds my take-down screw in half of the time.

The issue is that I have to carry around a tube of loc-tite and an allen key every where I take the rifle. I don't trust it to stay in one piece while im out shooting lol.

There is and it's already been mentioned, Nordlok.

Okay, I did see that. But I also saw that guys who did get the nordlok's had to grind them down because the size that would fit the screw is too wide for the hole in the receiver.

Maybe I’ll give the Nylok screw a try and see how that holds up. Anyone know off hand what size the bolt is?

Holy sheep####, there's nylock BOLTS now?! What a time to be alive! Haha

(Not kidding. That's awesome.)

As a machinist, I feel like I maybe should have known about this. I don't make or use a ton of bolts, but still. Related.

Maybe send the link to MDI. If the bolt backing out is a problem for more than a couple guys it sounds like including it from the factory would be a cheap way for them to put an end to all complaints about the bolt being used.
Ok, this is CGN, guys will still complain about it.

How could anyone complain about that...

Accuracy and reliability of the AR platform is pretty much 0.5% dependent on the receivers. At the end of the day it's just an empty shell that houses the components that make the gun work.

Everything is in the barrel, cycling components and magazines.

The only time receivers can really play a part in the reliability of your AR is if you have an extremely worn out one (mainly trigger, hammer, and takedown pin holes) we're talking a gun that's been in service since the 60's and has no finish left anywhere... and even those still run.



So the argument that the SLR is good because 'it's accurate and reliable" is like saying the earth is round because the sky is blue.
