Help

I assume its the rail that is moving? Is it on a front RIS or on the upper receiver?

If its on the upper receiver, have a look to see if you can see any screws and tighten them, things do tend to come loose on airsoft guns.

I expect it's the mount that's off spec, pad it out with a couple of layers of electrical tape.

it should be a 100% fit its a 20mm rail and the eotech has a 20 mm slide i tighten the screw up all the way but it still wobbles

Yeah, well that's what "tolerance" means, eh? As James says, LX tape is the way forward. Put it on the rail and squash the tape down where the bolts need to go. Use black so it isn't obvious, but most of it will be hidden anyway.

exactly what ian said, element clones are made in a chinese factory with little/no quality control. While the rail says 20mm and the mount is supposed to be 20mm, clearly one of them isn't because it wobbles. Add a bit of electrical tape to the inside of the mount and it'll reduce the gap and allow it to fit.

welcome to the world of cheap knock offs, surprise surprise they're not as good as the real thing.
