I hope you can help me. I mounted my EoTech on my Mini 14 using GG&G's cam operated quick release device. For what seemed to be a pretty simple deal, this has turned out to be a nightmare. My current problem is that after flipping the release lever on the GG&G, the EoTech remains FIRMLY mounted on my rifle. I mean it does not even jiggle. There is little I can see but I believe the dovetail within the EoTech has not moved and is fully engaged with the Ultimak rail. Any ideas as to how to awaken from this particular nightmare? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Nevermind. I figured it out. If anyone else should have this problem, I realized the cross bolt screw only screwed into the EoTech's moveable dovetail. I thought the problem was that the dovetail was not moveing out of engagement with the Ultimal rail. Soooo, I inserted a small allen wrech onto the head of the crossbolt screw and tapped it with a leather mallet. Just like that, the dovetail disengaged with the Ultimak and all is well. No damage to anthing.
Boy, it a good thing I have skills in other areas because when it comes to mechanical stuff, I am a clutz!
