Your scope or in my case reddot does the tightening, this piece is just sandwiches in. Got mine on a 22 leveraction and the kids have been shooting it alot squirral hunting and at the range with no problems.

the scope base tightens on the adapter which tightens onto the dovetail base. it works. it is really just a collapsible spacer.

there are no bolts. this device is essentially an adapter that fits within a picatinny rail itself essentially "down sizing" which clamps down on this adapter that is than clamping down on the dovetail itself.

These require rings or a built in clamp on the sight. You slip these inside the clamps on the rings or base and use the tightening screws on ring or base to tighten down on the dovetail.

you don't need any bolts. just insert this adapter inside the 22mm mounts and tighten them

There are no bolts, this is an insert which you slip inside the larger weaver style scope ring to reduce it down to fit 3/8 or 11 mm dovetailed receivers. There are two spring loaded alignment pins in between the two halves to keep them lined up with each other. It is the most compact adapter on the market at this time and adds the least height to the scope installation.

Will check when I get home. I do know I used some heavy duty metal hose clamps, that you tighten with a socket, not screwdriver.

loosen the 2 nuts on each side where the arms swing out and remove the rubber cap (it looks like a acorn) thats the adjustment bolt loosen will lower and tighten will raise it retighten nuts when done

Use the elbow adapter. I used it on mine and worked and looked great. Real easy. Did all of the work myself.

I think you may have assembled it wrong by using some of the wrong hardware. When I assembled and tightened to a firm snug level, they adjust perfectly. I would re-evaluate the pieces you have used

I returned the adapter so I do not have it on hand to measure. However, the amount it was "off" was less than 1/8 inch - so close it was very frustrating. I bought an adapter from U Haul and it was drilled with room to spare.

I had the same problem at first. However there are bolts and octogon bolts. It doesn't specify in directions to use octogon bolts as that is the shape of the end caps. Once I removed the bolts and put the octogon bolts in it took a little extra muscle, but it worked.

i dont see any threads on this piece youd need to screw an attachment onto....so I m gonna say no...someone else may have found a way to do it...but i dont see the threads....

I used a 1/4" socket wrench with the hex drive bit to install the mounting bolts. If I recall, the threaded fasteners supplied have a thread-locking compound applied. I simply tightened the fasteners fully - without really "reefing" on them.They've remained in place an functional ever since (installed 6/14).

Hello Ben,I would make sure to pop off all the black caps and tighten the bolts underneath. If it's still off a bit, please let me know.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

You'll need a Allen Wrench Set. Adjust where needed. Also check the owners manual.

I don't find any problem with mine, you just need to thumb-press that metal release and rotate the adapter in counter-clock wise direction... If you still have problem, please specify how you are getting stuck!!

Lube the threads and work it a little. Mine was the same and it tightened right up. Works fine now.

I used a very small allen wrench and used a lot of pressure. I didn't have a correct tool. I just tried my best to keep the opposite end still to tighten the screws. Ultimately one of the screws got lost, and I ended up replacing it with a small bolt and screwed a nut on and added epoxy glue.

Mine used to fall off too. If you haven't already thrown it out, call them and have them send you a new replacement adapter that is metal. They know about this issue and will send it out for free.

There wasn't an adaptor included. You can buy those at most hardware stores!

You should prbably contact the vendor, since the hardware includes metric "barrel nuts" that I have not seen at any hardware store. I lost one of the barrel nuts during assembly, and I was able to "make do" by buying a metric regular nut by inserting the nut into the hole with a needle-nose pliers. But that was for only one of the bolts, and you are missing all the hardware. So I would definitely contact the supplier for the missing hardware set.
