I think Terry would still want to know...perhaps he can tweak something in the process so it doesn't happen in the future to others. jmho
I have them on my Bandit and my Prod. No signs of loosening on either of them yet. I did break the one on my Bandit but it was totally my fault. Don't sit it on the floor on a bipod and try to step over it unless you're immune to Murphy's law. 😂 I was able to fix it with a strategically placed screw though.

It's plasticky material with only 2 to 3 anchor points, so it will wobble eventually.Those screws will eat up those threads, IMHO.The best adapters are made by Gippeto in Canada, but they're not cheap.I have 5 of them.I intend to sell the non-offset 22xx one

An oversized adapter is much better than a loose one, especially if it's a soft material.With the Gippeto adapters, I had to sand my tubes a bit.

I have a bandit and a chaser with the full buck rail treatment. The stock adapters are are all plastic. They are oversized, which is the proper way to make them and I sanded them down until they fit perfectly.
