after uninstalling mods from a weapon, they can’t be reinstalled again on the same weapon. The weapon stats show that they are already installed even if they are no longer on that weapon. If i save and restart the game, the weapons accept the mods again.

The problem still exists, I’m using the Jan 16th Build. 0.9-3366-g3c38041  
The mods can come off just fine, But the slots still think they are full.
