3 lug problem

[indybrad]

If anyone has a Trident 9 with 3 lug, I would like to see what the inside of the mount looks like. I'm having problems mating my Trident mount to a Gemtech adapter. Seems like either the lugs are undersized or there was too much machined out of the mount. The lugs stick out .760 from the barrel.

SWR said they would send me another body for the mount, but I don't really know if that's the problem. I would just like to compare a pic of someone elses to mine. Thanks for any help.

Brad try posting this on Sturm. I bet someone knows what the problem is.

I've got a Trident and a 3 lug mount. What exactly are you wanting pics of? The actual lugs in the main body, or the spring loaded part? Let me know and I'll get some up.

Just the inside of the body on the Trident mount.

Here's some I just took. Let me know if you need any others.

No problem. I have a pair of dial calipers here at the house, so I can take measurements if you need them.

 

[indybrad]

How far do your lugs stick out from the barrel?

 

[hotrodtba]

I saw your dimension of .760. How are you measuring that?

 

[indybrad]

Use the base of the calipers

Got another body from SWR and it works. Seems like they milled out too much on the original one, where the lugs lock in place. Hope they didn't have a bunch go out like that. Thanks for the help.

Good to hear you resolved your problem.
