Wasn't everyone's first welding project in metal shop a mini 14?

It's because it's a mini 14!

I don't see any color on the threads try lock tight, always lock tight the threads on a scope!

Also, replace the nuts with walnuts so you can quickly switch to irons without tools if your optic goes down!

I'd check the torque on those ring screws. Everything else looks good

You should try welding the rings to the top of that riser; and remember, “the bigger the gob the better the job”.

Should have used stainless scope mount brackets. Welding standard metal brackets to a stainless receiver is the real problem.  :chuckle:

Some JB weld AND a larger glob of weld should be good for a temporary fix.

The lack of duck tape is clearly problem. Quarter roll should get that back to sub moa

Might want to take a good look at the barrel.  It may need to be re-crowned or straightened.  Easy to do at home with a few commonly found tools.
