Great design, but weakest link |

May we have an option of steel, titanium or aluminum alloy? The soft aluminum is in my opinion not very suitable for fore-end attachment. The original rifle builder had already stripped some of the holes and the fore-end came loose, so I ordered a replacement. Another reviewer mentions an installation video, which I still can't find any reference to while looking at the description and technical specs online. Re-mounting the fore-end I decided to try 40 in/lb torque, and as a result experienced some sinking feeling realizing I had stripped one of the bottom holes. I would now recommend to myself not to exceed 25 in/lb torque, and use some red Loctite. For my mistake I will need to order yet another replacement adapter, or find larger screws and re-thread the holes. I'm also considering asking a machinist to custom make a replacement made from a sturdier alloy or steel. This is getting unnecessarily expensive, but thanks for allowing me to post my very subjective review.
