Manufacturing tolerances with Bear Mag Take Down Bows?

[Elmer Keith]

I have two mag-handles, one of the earlier ones and one that must have been produced 1975 or later becaus I can mount the bow quiver intended for mounting on Bear compound bows on it.

One bow, the one with the A-handle came completed with limbs of the White Knigth type.

Other was completed by myself. The limbs came from an internet auction, the B-handle was bought in an archery shop in Germany.

When I try to take the limbs from the A-handle and mount them on the B-handle the latches are hard to close.

The other way round the the limbs have a sloppy fit and move within the handle.

Is there something wrong either with the handles or the limbs or do I have to tighten or loose a screw at the mag-handles?

[William F. Adams]

The instruction sheet which came w/ my green stripe T/D says not to adjust the screw which is pre-set at the factory.

Not sure if that holds for the mags.

No do not move the screws.....sloppy limbs really don't matter once the bow is strung they do not rattle.Latches are hard to close because the limb butts may be a bit thcker on the later set of limbs.
Besides you can shoot your bow with those latches open they are only on there to keep the limbs from flying away should your string break while at full draw bd
