Micro Riser Question

StormDragon · Post by **StormDragon** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 7:50 am

Odd question but besides the one main bolt underneath that connects the riser to the barrel, is/are there any other things that connect them?

The reason I ask it i went to take the riser of yesterday to put some foam (not spray or loose) and after taking the bolt out, i couldn't budge the riser (almost like it was fused onto the barrel or i was missing a bolt?)

I didn't assemble it, the local shop I got it from.

Thanks in advance

Well Spock better release the field! I got tinkering to do and a bug rubber mallet is in the equation if this keeps up! That or trip to the shop

You have the recoil lugs on the bottom of the riser . So the riser will not move forward . It has to come straight up .

Well as it turns out a hammer really was needed to "persuade" the riser to come off. And its been off and on twice and now back on with foam stuffed in the rail.

Thanks everyone for your help. Much appreciated!

What's the purpose of the foam ?

The expanding foam insulates potential resonance emitted from the hollow mainframe.
