Components Included

- Mounting Screws (pre-installed or separately packaged)
- Hex Key (for screw installation)
Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your scope mount. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Safety First: Always ensure your firearm is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction before beginning any work. Remove the bolt if applicable.
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the receiver's mounting surface thoroughly to remove any oil, grease, or debris. A clean surface ensures a secure fit.
- Align the Mount: Carefully place the EGW Picatinny rail mount onto the pre-drilled holes on your firearm's receiver. Ensure the holes on the mount align perfectly with those on the receiver.
- Insert Screws: Insert the provided mounting screws into the aligned holes. Start all screws by hand to prevent cross-threading.
- Tighten Screws: Using the included hex key, tighten the screws evenly. Apply gradual, firm pressure, alternating between screws to ensure the mount seats properly and evenly. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads or damage the receiver. Refer to your firearm's manual for specific torque specifications if available.
- Verify Security: Once all screws are tightened, gently attempt to wiggle the mount to ensure it is firmly attached and stable. There should be no movement.
- Mount Optics: You can now proceed to mount your scope or other Picatinny-compatible accessories onto the rail.
Operation
The EGW Picatinny Rail Scope Mount provides a standardized interface for attaching various optics and accessories. Once installed, simply attach your Picatinny-compatible scope rings or other accessories to the rail's slots. Ensure all accessory mounting screws are tightened according to their respective manufacturer's specifications for optimal performance and retention.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and reliability of your EGW scope mount, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the mount with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, and fingerprints. For stubborn grime, a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the mount for any signs of wear, damage, or loose screws. Ensure all mounting screws remain tight.
- Corrosion Prevention: If operating in humid or corrosive environments, apply a thin layer of rust preventative oil to the mount's surface, avoiding contact with optics lenses.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your EGW scope mount, consider the following:
- Mount is Loose: Re-check all mounting screws. Ensure they are tightened evenly and securely. Verify that the mount is compatible with your specific firearm model.
- Optic Not Holding Zero: While often an optic or ring issue, a loose mount can contribute. Re-verify the mount's tightness to the receiver. Ensure scope rings are properly installed and tightened to the Picatinny rail.
- Screws Stripped: If screws are stripped, do not attempt to force them. Contact EGW customer support or a qualified gunsmith for assistance.
