Arca clamp come loose

[Chiquita]

I have a KRG XL arca spigot and 419 Arca mount on the Atlas. Thr Arca mount keeps coming loose. Any solution to this? I tighten The gold bbolts as hand tight as I can.

Is the gold part the head of a bolt or a fancy nut?

Bolt head.

If it were some sort of fancy nut I was going to suggest a nylon tipped lock nut but since it isn't I would suggest calling Area 419. If their answer doesn't satisfy you I would suggest finding a stud, LocTite (#242) it in place then put a nylon tipped lock nut on the stud to secure the clamp on your gun. Keep in mind that you will have to keep a wrench handy to remove the clamp when you want to.

I thought I would try the forum over the weekend before I call them on Tuesday. Maybe someone came across this.and had a solution.

You will need to pin it...however an Area 419 clamp will give you that option.
It works great and I use theirs only.

@Sandstorm what is ppinning?

I had a similar issue as well. The clamp should have came with 3 silver pins that go into the holes (see attached photo). This decreases the overall width of the clamp and should fit snug on the rail

It will still slide if you dont notch the Arca Rail for the pins to make contact in the rail.
Then snug down and it stays put.
