If you have the M3 0.5mm screws for the cover plate, you can use those screws. Ours are M3 0.5x6mm, if you need the sight to plate T15 6-32x3/8 screws as well, they're on our site, do a search for RMR and the screws will show up. If you need just the plate to slide screws and don't have the cover plate screws, email me and we'll send them to you. We make very to nothing with these screws, postage is what makes these so expensive to buy on our site

Also recommend you use an RMR sealing plate when on a Glock slide because the optic will overhang on the sides a bit and the o-ring on the bottom might not get a good seal without it. https://www.amazon.com/Trijicon-RMR-Mount-Sealing-Plate/dp/B00G8UINDC |

Use a pipe cleaner dipped in acetone to really get in there and clean/degrease the threads on the slide. Also use acetone on the screw threads. I’ve seen a few RMRs fly off due to people thinking that a drop of loctite is all you need.

Sorry, just saw your pics. Others have already helped with info, our plates only work with MOS (not LE only MOS 3, 5, 6 and 7, those are milled for DPP, RMR, Holosun 509T, and ACRO, respectively) , not a milled slide already cut for RMR, you will need a sealing plate, not our MOS plate, as the width of the slide doesn't support the full width of the RMR.
The cut on your slide is missing 2 lugs in front RMR uses, though it uses the threaded posts, I'd still like to see lugs for the RMR's lug holes, but if the fit is tight, it should be ok. Your cut will work for RMR, SRO, RMR HD, but not RCR, which can't have the posts, threaded or not, due to RCR's design that requires the use of capstan screws.

I've had multiple Glocks done by battlewerx with the threaded recoil posts only and they all hold zero and return to zero if you torque them to the same spot. Been using them for years.

Originally Posted By Duffy: Your cut will work for RMR, SRO, RMR HD, but not RCR, which can't have the posts, threaded or not, due to RCR's design that requires the use of capstan screws. Yeah, grab a sealing plate as stated. Your RMR fit should be tight. As in zero play forward/back. The internally threaded posts and recoil lugs (for cuts that have them) basically anchor your optic. A sloppy optic pocket transfers all of the slide momentum stresses to the screws which becomes a shear point. ETA: On the other hand, if you requested an MOS cut and wanted the plate/optic interchangability , then I'd be getting ahold of the shop that cut your slide. They owe you. |

Waiting on the sealing plate to finish the install on the RMR but overall I really like the setup. The RMR is a tight fit but fits really nice. Hope to get the G17 setup the same way |

Is there a "conventional wisdom" out there for replacing the batteries in your optics? Recently I went out and grabbed by carry pistol and as I was checking it I discovered the optic was dead. Looking it up, I'm at about 2 years with the same battery. Thankfully I'm still good with irons and am co-witness with my setup, but I didn't allow myself time to replace the battery before heading out the door so I had little choice.

Depends on the optic.
with RMR I do it every fall. It could probably go 2 years. |

View Quote The ARFCOM way is "just change all of your batteries on your birthday". In 2024, that is easier said than done. I'm currently sitting on at least 20 firearms with battery powered optics and it is a RPITA. I'm done buying type I/II RMRs which require dismounting of the optic, dealing with striped screw heads, removing witness marks on optic body/screw heads, scraping off the hardened thread lock on the screw/screw hole threads, blowing out slide mounting holes with compressed air, cleaning/degreasing with acetone, changing the battery, reapplying thread locker, breaking out torque wrenches, waiting for 24 hours for the thread locker to set, rechecking torque, applying new witness marks and then taking affected firearm to range to re-zero. Doing that to 7-8 pistols and 3-4 rifles once a year takes way more than a day and to be frank... It absolutely sucks. Top mount/side mount batteries for the win! |
