KLWorkman Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I had to remove my red dot sight when I returned my Rival to the factory for a chamber issue. When the pistol was returned I attempted to remount my red dot. The adapter plates have what I describe as a "Helicoil" in the threads where the red dot mounting screw goes. In remounting the red dot the helicoil came out and wrapped itself around the screw head thus destroying it. It appears the "parent" hole where the helicoil came from is threaded as a M3.5 X .6. Can anyone verify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Helicoils are the same pitch as the intended thread, but, the diameter is not. Helicoils have dedicated taps to cut the proper thread for the insert. You need to check the insert for the screw that will be using the Helicoil.

TheChef1 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Use this time to upgrade to a Disdef plate. better quality and sits way lower. Disdef.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcar157 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hey Chef, took your advice and ordered a DisDef plate today for a Rival S that's on its way to me. The DisDef plates appear to be far superior to what Canik supplies. Thanks much for the reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are better in every way IMO. look better, sit lower, better build quality. Brandon the owner is a nice guy too. I got some of their other products and everything has been good to go.

Slow250 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Thanks for the recommendation. Bought a Disdef plate for mine as well after buggering up one of the helicoils. With their free shipping only about 13 bucks more than replacing the stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it’s Definitely well worth the price to upgrade even if your stock plate is good. Glad to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
