A little problem: Went shooting yesterday and the scope kept coming
loose from the single screw holding it on the carry handle on my AR-15. Any suggestions on how to keep it tight? It went back to Zero when it was removed and replaced. After a few rounds it comes loose. Thanks..

  Every one I have looked at, has some type of a lock washer in it... Maybe it's gone? or needs a new one? [:)]

  I put a lockwasher on it when I got back from the range. Maybe this will help?

  I know you will frown on this but I use pliers on mine it holds very well and you will need pliers to loosen and remove it but it stays in place

  The lock washer 'ItGoBang' is referring to is a curved spring steel washer, not the normal star or slot lock washers. You should be able to order them from bushmaster. They will not mess up the finish on the weapon as the others will.
