    I don't see how it could have a nut without a bolt...

    I have a Stag model 1 with carrying hand and have never had a problem with zeroing it. My stag has never given me any problems.

    An A4 should shoot just fine if the carry handle is securely attached.

    Just got some more info. My friend said the store told him they put the carry handle from his gun on another one going out the door, and put another one on his before he picked it up. I guess he got hosed. I will tell him about it, but I'm not sure what he'll do about it.

    The cross-bolts barely protrude across the bottom surface of the unit, and are just round bolts anyway. I'm sure its some Chinese piece of shit, or even airsoft.

    I don't think so. There is nothing to stop it shifting back from the recoil except the side clamps.

    I'm baffled, how does it mount at all without bolts going from one side to the other, across the rail slots?

    Is it just a nut tightening down the clamp on only one side?

    Well if it was NIB he should take back the crap carry handle and demand the right one. Or better yet a good flip-up rear.
