Nice video! Thanks for sharing.

Edit: My preorder set came with two smooth pins and no threaded pins. Also no loktite or bit which isn’t a big deal. What’s the easiest way to get a set of threaded pins headed my way?
Thanks for posting this. I finally watched the video (which is great - thanks @Ryan Avery !) and realized that while I knew I had not received the threaded pins (which have since been provided), I didn't get the loktite or bit and it was making me wonder if it was just something I overlooked or that I was going crazy.

I'm going to order more stuff, so I will reach out per #359 by email.

I did the same thing on Friday. Had new threaded pins and accessories in my mailbox today. Unknown Munitions is amazing!

Thes are really really nice rings! Incorporating the pins is fantastic. Very well thought out and seem very solid.

Remounted my SWFA HD 3-9x40 and only took about 10 minutes using my laser.

Scope clearance with a Tikka T3X and McGowen Sporter size barrel. Rings are 30mm Lows. Wouldn’t mind seeing some “extra lows” in the future.

A trick for someone to use if they are mounting the same scope on the same rifle and want to ensure the exact same eye relief that took you a while to set just right….

Take a small speed square and span over the objective lense. Square down to where that meets the stock and mark with a straight line. When re-mounting the scope in the new rings, use the same square and slide the scope back to your line. Easy.

Got mine ordered. Should be here Tues.

Question: I had a rail on mine and removed it. Do you plug the unused rail screw holes with a flush set screw or just leave them open?

I plugged mine. I think I still have a few extra screws laying around if you want them. Let me know.
