I have a Paul Jaeger sidemount on my Springfield. It is very well made and returns to zero. I do have a problem with the locking clamp opening under recoil. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I don't see how to secure the lock arm after mounting the scope to keep this from happening. Anybody know how to fix this?

Thank you LRF. I took a close look at the mount and it has two notched out grooves in the base plate indicating a slightly different slide on mount. I hesitate to change the base mounting plate as the person who installed it attached it with precision and love and the way he cut out the stock to accommodate the plate is perfect. Judging from the mounting holes in the plate the screw holes and locating pins are slightly different on the Ebay unit.I do have photos of the mounting plate but no way to post them. Thank you again for your help. I must keep looking. Tomorrow I will call New England FA.

RE:longer lock bar spacing in G&H style rail. I have a Sedgely custom with a Griffin and Howe rail mount that is identical in all respects to G7H EXCEPT the crossbolt indents are spaced at 2-7/8" as opposed to 2" on all my other G&H equipped rifles (8). Can anyone give me a steer as to the maker? Thanks Oldguncrank

WJL, Jerry, This is just a "shot in the dark", but check to see if the lever "bottoms out", it should not. Most of them are adjustable, so that they don't( different makers have different systems). If the lever bottoms out, it is not tight. Mike

Der Ami,
Thanks for the reply. The lever does not "bottom out" and the connection is tight. However after one or two shots the lever has begun to open and the scope is loose. Most annoying. I keep thinking there must be a trick or something I should be doing to keep this from happening. If this was common or usual with this mount I should have read about it somewhere or there should have been some instructions from Jaeger on how to correct it.
Any help is appreciated.

Jerry, Sorry it didn't work out. I once mounted a "no name" side mount and couldn't stop the top part from slipping forward, until I installed a roll pin through the dovetail for the top to bump against. Since it was in a dovetail, I had to first mill a flat( like a spotfacer)to keep the drill from "running". Whether you modify your mount, or not, is entirely up to you. It worked in my case, but I have no idea about yours. The mod is unobtrusive. Mike

I think my memory is going down the drain, but I swear that I remember some discussion on this forum where someone, maybe Don Moody or J.D. Steele talked about making tiny lock washers for this or a similar situation. I've done searches for every combination that I can conceive but found nothing.
