Re: IMO Mesa Tactical 6 Shell Side Saddle
I've been looking at the Mesa and the GG@G. I like the slant/cant of the GGG but not sure I care for how it is installed. Mesa looks more finished on the left side. GGG just has the end of the screws showing and even thoght the GGG can be loctited, just seems to me that Mesas has a better set up. I sure like the cant of GGG though.
Any thoughts on this difference from anyone?????

Re: IMO Mesa Tactical 6 Shell Side Saddle
So after the first time at the range, I shot maybe 50 rounds before i noticed one of the reciever bolts was about to fall out. I blue loctited the bolts. If they still loosen it might be a problem.

Re: IMO Mesa Tactical 6 Shell Side Saddle
If I get the Mesa Tactical one do I need to install it with locktite? Or, only if I buy the Tacstar?Synchronizor wrote:Yeah, each one of those little screws needs to be taken out and reinstalled with locktite, right out of the packaging. Otherwise, they'll start falling out the first time you shoot with it.DaveC wrote:Tac Star works for me, but I'll concede that I've had to go hunting for little screws, and once I never did find it...
On-topic, how far out does the Mesa Tactical carrier extend from the receiver, Rythomas0704?
Re: IMO Mesa Tactical 6 Shell Side Saddle
Loctite both versions.

Re: IMO Mesa Tactical 6 Shell Side Saddle
On my TacStar, I locktite the small screws that hold the shell carrier to the baseplate, but I only use a thread lubricant on the threads for the two mounting screws. I've never had a problem with those coming loose if they're installed properly, but I have seen them get stripped out very easily; so I try to be as gentle as possible with those fragile aluminum threads.theruz wrote:If I get the Mesa Tactical one do I need to install it with locktite?

Agreed on that. With the mesa saddle its those action screws that loosen up.
