Busted on first shot
I bought this for my Ishapore 2A. I installed according to the directions and the rear tab that goes behind the stripper clip bridge snapped off under the recoil of the first shot. It seems like I got a bad mount, because it sheared off cleanly as if there were already damage to that area. I am awaiting a reply from Brownells and hoping they live up to their reputation. One thing they don't tell you is you can't remove your bolt with the mount installed without removing material from your bolt head. Also you have to mill out your stock for the forward band. 2 stars because it broke, but it's the only option besides a drill and tap.
