M84 Scope Problem?

Son and I shoot regularly at NRA range. Picked up one of the CMP M1Ds recently. Nice shape in all respects. Went to gun show and met collector and picked up cheek pad (MRT52), M84 scope with mount, and flash supressor-the narrow one with times not the funnel. Having problem with the scope moving fwd in the mount as a result of the recoil. Know this because with abt an inch movement the rubber eye piece blocks the clip ejecting. Plan on tightening down more and putting a pencil mark to see if scope moves in mount. Can't be the first one to experience this problem-any thoughts

Happened to me too. Scratched my scope nicely. Not happy.

a small strip of 600 sandpaper back to back inside the mounts should cure the problem...

Dissolve some Pitchers Rosin in Alcohol, and paint the paste on inside of rings. Tighten down and enjoy. To remove compound wipe off with Alcohol dampened rag.

Friction paper may work well too. If you guys shoot at Quantico, let me know.

I hear that CMP has found someone to make M84 scopes for their Snipers. Also they made do a Sniper fun match shot at 300 & 600 yds in the near future. Should be fun to get the 1903's, M1C's & D's out of the safe.
