View Full Version : How tight is tight enough for Larue Mounts?

I was installing a new Larue mount on an ACOG, I noticed that while installing it, the levers where barely tight. I adjusted them to make them tighter. After some thought, I wondered how tight do they need to be and how much is too tight? I understand this is very tuff to explain on the net but still...

Even though they were certainly not tight enough with my initial instal (before adjustments to tighten) the ACOG did not budge. Made me think some of my others might be too tight. For the experts that have seen and done, do many people have them too tight?

I run them so I can just get them off without needing a tool....so pretty tight.

Imagine the amount of force required to open the tab of a soda or beer can. No less than that.

Tighter than that won't hurt anything (unless you make it so tight that you start to damage your rails).
