You are most definitely missing pieces.
For one, the captured screw on the side (centered between the two circular openings) is missing. It appears the instruction sheet and the product card with mfr's sku #is also missing.
Based upon the flared/distorted set screw in your last pic I'd say you got someone's "returned" mount.

And by the way, I tried 4 (four) of these mounts on 2 different M305's and could not get my scope within a proper tolerance of windage adjustment as the mounts simply would not align close enough to the barrel. Tried machinists Prussian blue, shimming, etc and never could get them to work. I finally gave up and bought a CASM.

Sorry for your bad luck but hopefully if you ask for a replacement they might work better for you !
 
Yes, it is higher and that is why I tried to make the Promag mount work first. Otherwise I have no complaints about the CASM mount - I probably should've just bought it from the get go and avoided all the misery !

ARMS 18 works great and you still have your sights, Promag worked for me as well. Remember to remove the E clip retaining side bolt. CASm? why loose your sights?

Hi fellow shooter. I have an ARMS 18 on my Norinco and have no idea what is Eclipse side retaining bolt. Can you explain?
Thanks.
 
just copied and pasted this from the stickies, it's a post I made some time ago

Installing An ARMS18 Mount by M14Doctor

I find it odd that so many folks have issues getting ARMS 18 style mounts to align correctly.

Here's my tips:

* Get rid of the horse shoe washer( C clip) on the inside of the retaining bolt. This lil bugger is what offsets the front of the mount... I ditch it every time.

* The rear screw that attaches to the stripper clip guide key. This has an adjustable pad that is key to alignment.

* Remove the screw and use a slot screw driver to adjust. First step is to back it out so it doesn't make contact upon "test fit" install. Same goes for the front pad.

**on my Promag version this rear adjustable pad was installed backwards from the package. The slotted face should face up, away from the receiver.

* Snug fit the side bolt and set a 3/4 or 1" dowel on the mount. Observe position.

* Then slowly bring rear pad to just touch the clip guide key.

* Install rear screw to just snug, then fully tighten side bolt

* Check alignment and level.

* These can now be adjusted by removing rear screw and lessening or increasing the tension of the rear pad. Reinstall screw and fully tighten.

* Finally adjust front pad until it just touches receiver.

Seems to work every time for me, and I install an awful lot of the ARMS18 style mounts.
