Was waiting for resolution on this issue.<br />I ended up getting a refund for the rail.<br />Took it into a local shop and they confirmed the issue. <br />I can't say for sure if this would happen with all the rails since I only had experience with one example; however, after looking at the design close up I will not being going with a Fortis rail in the near future. Just my personal experience<br />A+++++ for Primary Arms for making it right.<br /><br />Thanks for your input Blk Rfl Div!Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341829629463559144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812620751563802410.post-9317738587095442802015-11-10T11:12:04.753-08:002015-11-10T11:12:04.753-08:00Yes, I do recall reading threads like those, that ...Yes, I do recall reading threads like those, that is why it's very important to have some type of rail mount connecting the upper receiver to the rail when tightening down & aligning. Based on what you've said though, you've taken that necessary step. I will have to say that I was going to return mine to Rainier Arms at one point and if you are having issues, as it's well documented within the shooting community, return it, don't even deal with it and the possibility that the rail might rotate. The Geissele rails are great and I highly recommend them, very easily to install and Geissele factors in everything whenever he designs something. Black Friday is just around the corner too.<br /><br />On another note, on the M4 Carbine link (I think) someone posted they were having an issue with a PSA barrel nut, mine is a PSA barrel nut and no issues. <br /><br />Let me know what you decide to do by posting back on here, it's important to relay such info to fellow shooters.BLK RFL DIVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937749943791523054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812620751563802410.post-2798191199203650652015-11-10T10:48:11.219-08:002015-11-10T10:48:11.219-08:00Thanks for the response.

However a few report issues after extended use. <br />I am currently plagued by the issue of the barrel being off center. Done everything they recommend and what you detail in your post too. Taking it to a shop tonight to see if that helps. However, I hope there aren't long term movement issues lurking out there for me.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341829629463559144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812620751563802410.post-47435207571798677482015-11-10T10:42:20.983-08:002015-11-10T10:42:20.983-08:00No issues on my end.

I will have to look that up, thanks for bring to my attention. Now, that said, I mainly run a red dot and that is mounted on the upper receiver and not the rail. I will actually take this AR out in the forthcoming week and run the irons to see if my POA/POI has shifted. I will report back.BLK RFL DIVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937749943791523054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812620751563802410.post-90574031431046719172015-11-10T10:29:58.068-08:002015-11-10T10:29:58.068-08:00How has this rail been for you?
