Scope mount stop pin depth

[Trailryder42]

On my AA Pro Sport, I've noticed that the stop pin for scope mounts can be screwed down far enough to lock against the trigger housing. I don't know if you're supposed to do that but I don't like it. It causes you to have to remove the scope to remove the trigger housing so the gun can be disassembled.

I loctite my pin and screw it in just shy of contacting the trigger housing.

It probably only needed on a springer or a larger caliber rifle that recoils. On pcp rifle I don’t think it’s necessary.

Right. Usually only required on a springer or piston gun. I was just wondering, surely guys aren't screwing their stop pins deep enough to interfere/bottom out on internal components like the trigger housing.
