I was thinking about the displacement you sometimes get with a nick, so yes - a burr.

Hard to see in the photo, but the length of the damage goes to about half-way down the height of the lugs. And can naked aluminum rust? The reason it's doing this is the mount's recoil lug has a rather large "bump" in it (by design) that indexes against the rail's lug. It's supposed to compress I guess. But in doing so, it's gauging up the rail. I know "it's a gun," a tool, and not something that's going to remain pristine. But this is actual damage. It's not cosmetic.
How often are you removing your QD mount, and why?

Am I the only one here that wants to use the "T" word?? You ask a valid question George but this guy isn't willing to accept any answer he doesn't want to hear.

Doesn't matter, that's what it is designed to do.

I always suspect operator error before a hardware error, that's why I'm asking him how often he is taking his mount on/off and why.

I was moving the mount around on the rail to find the best position for my scope. I can't foresee how much I will be removing the mount in the future. However this is a QD mount and it was designed to be removable...
There is no burr on the recoil lug. If anybody has seen a Bobro mount, you will find that the recoil lug has a bump or protrusion that forces it against the rail. This bump is what is causing the damage. I am not blaming Bobro though. I was just wondering if this was a common thing. Maybe the finish in my gun is super soft. Or maybe the rail is "out of spec." I don't know either way. I certainly haven't seen this happen with anybody else though.

Seems like you're the one trolling here. Your post isn't on topic and it's purpose is to instigate drama.

Do you have the scope that you are adjusting the positioning for yet? I didn't think so. Yes... QD mounts are designed to be removed quickly when necessary. They are not designed to be removed 8 times a day 7 days a week. Please listen and learn.
Member
Yes, I already have the scope. It arrived two weeks ago.
Please listen and learn? Who the hell do you think you are? You haven't offered a single bit of helpful information at all in this or any other thread of mine. So who exactly am I supposed to listen and learn from? You? Right, fat chance. And this is now the FOURTH time you've come into a thread of mine and started acting like a fool. To anybody reading this, this guy has some weird fetish obsession with me. He comes into every thread of mine and intentionally tries to derail it.
For the FOURTH time, please go away. Stop trolling my threads.

My company, Kinetic Ops, has dealt with Andrew Bobro for four years and he's a standup guy. I'd send it back to have him look it over - if there's a problem he'll fix it. If he says it's good to go then I'd trust him.
