Hyde mount Q

[NSRCA Canada-West]

Thanks for the info folks!

As Lance suggested, I'll plan to re-drill the existing mount and, in addition, perhaps fill the old holes with JB weld or something.
Great tip on removal/replacement also!

  No Problem Dave,
  The Hyde AR mounts (black with solid disks) use Sig 60 size beams whose
  flanges have been cut down to fit.   The beams are attached with 4-40 bolts
  into blind nuts in the front disk face.  The faces are painted with epoxy,
  so after removing the screws you should score around the beams so they
  break off cleanly.  Use the old beams as an alignment gadget to drill holes
  in the new beams.  Also, if some epoxy got into the 4-40 holes, you may
  want to warm up the bolts with a soldering iron (minimally) so you can get
  your allen wrench in and turn the bolt.

  Before you do all that though, you know you can redrill the mounts.  I've
  seen mounts with several holes in them and they seem to hold up fine.
