11/18/2011 9:04:44 AM I just completed a Del-Ton 16″ Middy rifle that was built from a kit. So far, I only have about 80 rounds through it, but they have all fed, fired, and ejected without even a hint of problems. I fired a mixed bag of XM193, PMC Bronze, Ultramax, Hornady steel, and PPU 68 gr OTM to function check and zero in my scope.

This is the unofficial version until someone says it’s great, bold the title and make it all official. Going to layout some ground rules first and then start adding the content. READ THESE RULES BEFORE READING ON OR POSTING!! 1. No Cherry Picking – This is used as a reference. If you are going to reload for your fine LT rifle or upper, you need to work your loads up. You paid good money for that rifle, why risk damaging it or yourself? There are lots of variables that effect pressures and velocity and just because a load resulted in x at my location does not mean you will have x result in your location. Same goes for manufacture lots. Work your loads up. If you do not understand this concept, you need to go do some reading in the reloading forum and purchase some manuals. 2 . Big Boy Rules –

Received this from a Threeper I trust implicitly regarding LaRue Tactical quality control problems and service issues. He included a copy of a series of emails back and forth beginning in December of last year. Here’s his latest to me:

Mike,

I’d like to warn people about buying scope mounts from LaRue Tactical since you may well not get the one you need, and then they won’t do anything about it. When you spend $250.00 for a scope mount, it damn well be the one you needed, especially when you called and spoke to their rep before ordering.

If you could warn your readers, I think it would be a great service to them. Perhaps ask David to do the same. The story is in the below email stream.

The picture of my rife, scope mount and scope fitted and bore-sighted attached. As you can see, it has to go all the way up to the turret to get a decent eye relief. Also, I had to crank it all the way up to get it bore-sighted for 100 yards, leaving no more elevation for greater distances.

Before anyone buys a quick disconnect sight from LaRue Tactical, they better know exactly what they need to get because the reps at LaRue have no idea.

The shame is that I have previously purchased two other mounts for ACOGS for my other rifles from them. Still they have no interest in rectifying this situation.

Thanks,

My son has been collecting the components to build himself a 7.62 NATO sniper platform on an Armalite receiver much like the one pictured. He was thinking, if memory serves me correctly, of getting a LaRue Tactical mount like the one pictured. I will discourage him from doing so. –

As a Mesa Tactical dealer I bragg on them a lot. I feature their stuff on my custom builds and on occassion a cleint will contact me with an issue. Always little stuff. I have simply have them call Dan at Mesa Tactical and he resloves the issue right then with no BS at all. I have not had any major issues with any of their products so can’t comment on any issue other then a few screws or somthing missing from an item I received I have bought a lot, and I mean a lot of stuff. I am 100% confident that the same customer service would kick right in.

Take that thing off and be done with it.

The screws on the top are not threaded into your shell holder, they are threaded into the BENELLI Receiver.

The EXACT same thing happened to mine, and several other guys here. The screws they use are KNOWN to be soft and will deform, and destroy your Aluminum threads. At the time I took mine off, I had lost about 50% of the thread integrity.

Threads are strong because they are made to a VERY exacting profile. When that profile is changed, the force is put onto small sections of the threads. After shooting ammo through it, they will start to bend and deform, putting the stress on the next thread, and the next thread till they are all gone.

I had to EPOXY my factory top rail back on because the threads were pretty much all toast, not enough strength to hold an optic by itself. Some guys have had luck with using Heli-Coil steel inserts to repair the receiver threads.

Mesa Tactical has REFUSED to fix or even address this issue. Those threads were not meant to hold all that weight, and if Benelli finds out you use one of those things, I will bet they wont even cover it under warranty if something DOES go wrong.
