The only time I tried to mount it, there seemed to >be some resistance, so I stopped. Yes, set it on infinity. Mine goes on my M7 pretty easily. Stephen Gandy notes that some early M6s won't mount the DR - I have a very early M6 and it's a near thing - the baffling around the meter cell clears the DR mount by fractions of a millimeter. There may be some of this with the M7 (wild speculation on my part)... CZ NC
