ASR users - Mounting issues?

[Sendit_Hit]

I have been hearing a lot of anecdotal reports regarding ASR mounts not allowing proper alignment, sending cans down range etc. I’m trying to gauge wether this is actually a common problem and worth investing in a Q Plan B or DeadAir Key-Mo. I just Rocksetted ASR brakes on both rifles the Saker will be on, but I’m willing to remove it for something else if it’s worth it... just can’t tell if this is overblown user errors or actually mounting issues with a flawed system. Thanks in advance.

(I’m not too worried about the reports of ASR mounted suppressors getting stuck, I guess a little anti-seize on the taper and not swapping hot can onto cold rifle will solve that)

I have two Sakers and an Omega with ASR mounts and have not had any issues with them. Saker and Saker K on 10.3 to 18" uppers in 5.56 and the Omega on .308, 6.5CM, and an AK in 7.62x39. Is the mounting system dated, yes, but it works and works well. The biggest issues were with the mounting system that they introduced with the Saker, but SiCo has gone to the ASR across the board for QD mounts.

No issues with my ASR and Saker K.

I have an Omega, Specwar 556 and Specwar 556 K that spend time on 4 or 5 different rifles with no problems.

I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who has never had a problem with my ASR’s on multiple platforms.

I have 3 ASR's mounted with no issues.

Same deal, no issues with mounting my Specwar.

Zero issues with an omega. Lots of rounds through it on a multitude of platforms.

I have an Omega and SakerK and have had the Omega come off on one occasion. Done correctly, the ASR works fine but does seem to leave more room for error. I've swapped to the Key-Mo for both as it is a much more secure system, IMO. It also allows for easier one-hand operation, again IMO.

Is it possible those reports are of the trifecta mount and not the ASR? The trifecta mount on the earlier Saker was easy to get "wrong"; ie you thought it was attached correctly, but was not. The ASR is much harder to get get a false mount.
