Pretty much what the title says.  The KMR is my first keymod rail, and I'm curious if you have a recommended torque for the fasteners to prevent loosening of accessories.  Any input is appreciated.  Thank you.

The T15 torx fasteners on the accessory mounts and included rail sections.  I barely tightened one and it deformed the inside of the keymod slot.  Rail was oriented correctly.  The shoe on the backside of the rail left a small gouge/dent on the bevel on the backside of the slot at flaked the finish off.  Was not torquing the crap out of the screw.  Not concerned about the finish, just wanna make sure I am installing them correctly.

I see.

 



Did you use the correct torx wrench size?




I have stripped a torx screw when using a smaller torx wrench. Also there is no torx specs for the rail sections so I would just add a lil blue loctite and hand tighten it down.

Wait I was talking about a different keymod attachment.






Sorry, but you could lossen them all the way and drop some loctite in from the top.
