test fit & MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

 

IMPORTANT NOTE — PLEASE READ BEFORE TEST FIT & INSTALLATION

The custom 6Al-4V titanium screws supplied with most optic and plate options feature a T-10 Torx pocket. Using the correct Torx drive is critical to prevent damage to the screw head.

Many Torx bits included with inexpensive torque wrenches may be undersized or have inconsistent tolerances, which can result in a poor fit and potentially damage the screw.

We have found Wiha Torx drives to provide an exceptionally consistent and precise fit with the T-10 pockets machined into the titanium screws we supply. For this reason, Wiha is the only Torx drive we recommend for use with our titanium screws.

This is an inexpensive tool that can save you significant frustration and prevent costly headaches down the road.

 

TEST FIT

  • Verify optic fitment. Confirm the optic seats fully and flush on the plate.

  • Verify screw fitment (if applicable). If your optic requires mounting screws, test fit the supplied screws and ensure they do not protrude below the underside of the plate. Some optics utilize a clamp-style mounting system and do not require screws.

  • After confirming proper fitment, remove the optic and screws before proceeding.

  • Verify plate fitment. Test fit the plate to the slide and confirm it sits flush against the mounting surface.

  • Install the plate mounting screws and verify that there is no interference with any slide internals before proceeding to final installation.

 

INSTALLATION

  • Prepare the plate screws. Remove the plate mounting screws and apply the included Vibra-Tite® 123 threadlocker to the screw threads.

  • Using a properly fitting T10 Torx driver, secure the plate to the slide. Wiha Torx driver is recommended.

  • Glock, Walther, CZ, and Beretta: 10–15 in-lbs.

  • All other pistol models: 15–25 in-lbs.

  • Secure the optic using the appropriate mounting hardware and follow the optic manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. A torque value of 15–20 in-lbs is typical for optic mounting screws.

  • When installing an RCR optic, use the mounting screws supplied by the optic manufacturer.
