For reference, I used one of the “extra thick” tri-topped Warwick slides (Shooter’s was selling them awhile back) milled it for an AOS plate (rmr) and a good part of the optic mounting screw holes on the underside of the plate are exposed when installed. That said, the slide has .030” deep panel cuts in that area. It's the panel cuts or serrations that are the problem. The tri-top shouldn.t be a problem as the corner should be very close to where the curved top to side corner was. Slides are typically between .915 and .930 wide RMR mounting holes are .74 appart #6 screw is .138 so outside of threads is .878 I would happily mill threads on a slide .900 or wider without serrations. when working on slides with serrations I ended up making custom plates to maintain a low profile and clean look. https://imgur.com/8TYwehn https://imgur.com/aOeX7D6 Edited June 4 by MikeBurgess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came up with similar numbers and wasn’t comfortable with the .020-.025” side clearance. Stealth arms did offer a direct mount rmr slide at about half the price of the SV unit. Didn’t see an option to get it without serrations, but maybe in the future the demand will be strong enough for a different manufacturer to step up.

I talked to someone that had said they would sell a bald version of that slide if asked, I assume you would have to call them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
