It seems pretty solid with 1 cross bolt but A.R.M.S rails are of the 1913 flavor and the only way I can get my CQD vg exactly where I want it on the rail I have to forego using all three cross bolts and only use one.
I haven't used the spare 'V-Bar' CQD sent me. (Ihad to buy it and as nice as Ericka is/was I could not sweet talk her into a freebee) I instead went to the hardware store on the 8th day and happened across some small 'T' nuts which were the exact same thread pattern as the cross bolt(s) which came with the CQD vg. I ground down the 't' nuts to a smaller diameter - counter sunk the stripped 'V-Bar' and it works better than the 'V-Bar' with fresh threads. I may be able to get my wife to take some pictures I can maybe post later .
