AzDanMan Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I just received my optic plate from CZC yesterday. What do I torque the screws to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexKramer Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I torqued them to TLAR standards. That Looks About Right I just gave it a reasonable tighten with the wrench and called it a day. Haven't had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely be careful. Overtightened the screws on one of my aluminum optic plates. It was fun getting hit in the face by the detached optic during a stage run. Since then, I've been tightening it down until it's firm - followed by a slight nudge. Not very scientific. Someone else posted this link that could be helpful. https://www.engineersedge.com/torque_table_sae.htm Edited August 14, 2019 by tbarker13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
