vluc Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Fed up. CHWPS screws once removed from a Holosun sight. This is bulls#!t. I've used their screws with both Vortex and Holosun sights and have had the same issues consistently with the provided screws. Got to where I requested extra screws knowing they would strip. Whether the plate is better or nor is immaterial;. Going back to the Glock MOS plate and screws. Not my first rodeo, I know the inch pounds and how to install, the whole nine yards. Just cheap ass screws at a premium price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt7184 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This doesn't surprise me. I haven't had good luck with the quality of their products and have used more of their plates than I can count on one hand. Sadly though, I think crappy screws are common in the industry.

vluc Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 I have to look around on the forum. I believe there was a member who provided a link to better screws in that size from McMaster-Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that sticks out for me reading this thread is I remember in one of the CHPWS instructional videos, he mentioned "special made", specific screws that are M4 with an M3 "head" in order to fit the 407/507k platform. For my specific needs, would McMaster-Carr actually offer to the public an M4 Torx head screw with a M3 head? Curious as to whether I need to research another source for screws I may need in the future. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vluc Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 They very well may, but sometimes you end up buying 50 of them, lol. Best to reach out and contact M-C. Buck at CHWPS swears by his product, and I respect him for that. Would expect nothing less. My experience is different as will every buyers' experience, though Matt7184 has the same issue. When I have to use screw removers to take out a small stripped screw to upgrade a sight, that's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyivan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I've had good luck, but now you might have jinxed me bc I'm going to swap optics today and use their screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
