Okay you ARMS 18 scope mount lovers. These mounts work predictably well and offer very few surprises after the first $ 200 cost. :eek:

UNTIL... you install that final set screw for the front contact pad. :confused: Some of you gotta cut/grind/modify/bubba the rear of your handguard. Well, I found a cheap way around all that. My guess is that the kind ARMS 18 Engineers wanted you to employ that same (it is 3/32" ?? ) allen wrench that was also used to employ the clip guide interface. Worry no more because I have the set screw you need to replace that allen head set screw (that sticks out) for your front contact pad. And the only tool you need to install this set screw is a 1/16" allen key, you know... the one supplied with the new Remington M700 XMark Pro triggers. :eek:

It's really a # 6 - 40 x 3/16" long, cup point set screw.

How do you obtain one? Or how does one get hooked up?

JUST simply PM me (send me a private message) with your address and I'll get one into the mail for ya! :p Just that simple!

Your next question: why is Hungry doing all this? :cool:

Back in 1986 or was it 1987? A kind coach took me under his wing and said, "I'll teach you everything about the M14, as long as you never charge $$ for this knowledge...." Little did I know over 25 years later; :eek: He left me a legacy. Now that I'm left holding the "legacy", I gotta keep paying it forward. :D

So if I can find a simple fix for all of you M14 lovers out there, I try! :)


:cheers: and happy St. Paddy's Day!

Barney,

I don't get the point? This is to prevent guys from having to dremel their handguards by using a different set screw?
 
Or alternately, you go to Canadian Tire or Home depot and just buy as many as you might like. I installed several of these set screws YEARS ago ;)

I agree. Many years ago in the Barrie Home Depot, I bought a handful of them. Sadly some of the Home Depot (cost cutting measures, eh?) stores got rid of their 'bins' of loose fasteners/pins/springs/set screws and today, they only stock the most common items. Surprise , surprise.... :eek:

I'm not angry ... until I ran out of this set screw at the last London, ON clinic on 05 Feb 2011. :mad: So I searched high and low at my local hardware stores with frustration. :(

Well, I ended up buying 200 of them to give away and save others the carbon footprint and also having to Dremel your rear handguard. :p

Now we have peace on earth... well, I would like to hope so! ;)

Cheers, and drink yer :cheers: green bzzr today!

I felt sad the first time (many moons ago) I had to butcher a real USGI handguard. :eek: I gave away all my Norc furniture before I even thought about buying an ARMS 18 mount. :cool:

When I carried out that installation, I discovered that annoying set screw head stuck out and conflicted with the handguard! :mad:

So out came the bagfull of set screws and then the idea was born! :dancingbanana:

Cheers!

I've been getting some messages about paying me for the screw and the mailing. IT's all FREE... I had to BUY 100 of them for $ 6.00 and I only needed one, so I'm just 'paying it forward', so to speak. It's only a stamp and envelope it's costing me. No worries... You can buy me a double-double next time you see me! ;)

Cheers,
Barney
