The proper torque setting for our Scope Mount ring screws is 20−25 In/Lbs. Also, torque and tighten the bottom ring screws first, then torque and tighten the top screws. There should be a slight gap between the top of the ring halves. The ring screws are 9⁄64″ Allen. Rings do not need to be lapped, they are self-centering. This torque rating is ONLY for our scope mount rings. Red dot mounts, such as the AD-T1−10 or AD-IM DO NOT have a torque rating. Simply sung the screws down hand tight. Use only the supplied Vibra-Tite Threadlocker. DO NOT use Loctite on any ADM Mounts. Doing so will damage the threads and void the warranty.
