Fast forward 2 1/2 weeks and my rail came back repaired. Today I installed it and when I tightened the screws again per instructions, the same helicoil backed out. Someone on TOS suggested just getting some screws and nuts and tightening it with those. I really don't feel like sending it out for repair again if it's going to come back all jacked up again. I want to like this rail but it's far from durable since it seems to be a single use install and if I want to install rails at some point, it will need to go back to Troy for repair again. Has anyone else here had problems with the helicons and just Jerry rigged it with different screws and nuts? I wouldn't even feel comfortable selling this thing even after Troy repairs it again.
