As I own one:
If you take the rail off you will notice that there is some loctite in there.
The 2 rear screws engage positively, the 2 front screws not so much.
The rear screw protrude through the rail well and engage well. The 2 front screws do not. This is because of 2 reasons, the 2 front holes on the rail were not countersunk deep enough or the 2 screws used are short.
Basically just the 2 rear screws are holding the rail and the 2 front screws probably have 1 or 2 threads of engagement.
Also the threads in the barrel are poor, I had to use a 5-40 bottom tap to make them better, and for the front 2 screws I had to drill a little bit deeper and re-tap. I also bought longer 5-40 screws.
