First, a clarification on notices we sent out in response to a bogus claim:
The customer who said his Manitcore brake caused his AV2 to come off his Mini 30 flat out lied.
He returned the sight and on inspection it was obvious it was never installed and showed no sign of damage from coming off.
The bore of the sight was bare metal with a drop of fresh uncured Loctite in the bottom.
Had it been installed and cured there would have been a hard, solid pink colored coating on the entire bore.

This same customer bought 2 Av2s for 2 189 series Mini 30s and when asked how the second AV2 was doing, he replied "it was doing fine after hundreds of rounds and he was very happy with it".

The AV2 with 1/2-28 thread is more than suitable for Mini 30s and the installation method is proven and sound.

We have made a few minor changes to the Av2, but we want all who have bought one previously to know your product is safe and we hope you continue to use them and enjoy them.

Changes:
#1 We will now offer AV2 with 5/8-24 threads for Mini 30s. This was in response to customers wanting the larger thread for the 7.62 round.
This was not necessary, we simply did it to satisfy a customer request.
The .375 through hole on the 1/2-28 threaded AV2s is sufficient.
There are companies making brakes and other muzzle devices for .308 with 1/2-28 threads and it is safe, it comes down to personal preference.

#2 We are now able to get Loctite 620 in the small .5ml containers and we will gradually shift over to using that compound rather that 263.
Both are anaerobic adhesives.
Loctite 263 is still completely safe for the AV2s and we urge anyone who installed an AV2 with 263 to continue to enjoy it.
Loctite 620 is a Mil Spec product used for cylindrical mating with a heat range up top 450F and 3800 psi shear strength used for years by the US Military.

#3, Again, nothing serious but we did change the location of the bottom holes so that they will all contact the main .625 barrel dia. on the newer models.

We have also changed our pricing to add a 'full kit' and a 'complete kit' for those who already have their own cartridge lasers and flash hiders.
The complete kit will include a 3 prong flash hider and laser and the full kit will not.

We hope this clears up any questions about the Av2 sights

P.S. We also still have some of the pinned av2 sights left.
