How to get the Riser tight
Poor mounting design. Cross bolts should be beefy hex head. Impossible to get tight without stripping bolt heads. However was able to use bench vise to squeeze mounts so that the cross bolts could tighten the mount for a tight fit. Be careful not to squeeze the mount too much and have to pry the mount open to fit on rail. Good concept but poor design.
