Ideal for competitive shooters and tactical users who demand reliability. Nationwide shipping available—order from anywhere in the US.

Key Specifications

• Thread size: M3 (metric)
• Material: Grade 8.8 steel
• Finish: Black oxide corrosion-resistant coating
• Compatibility: Canik TP9, Elite, and METE series optic cut slides
• Package includes: (4) screws, (4) washers

Feature Breakdown

These M3 screws are machined to match OEM Canik optic plate specifications, eliminating play between the sight and slide. The black oxide finish reduces glare while providing mild corrosion resistance for range or carry use. Unlike generic hardware store screws, these are stress-tested to handle repeated torque cycles without stripping.

Grade 8.8 steel offers a balance of strength and machinability, resisting shear forces better than softer alloys. The washers distribute clamping force evenly across the optic base, preventing damage to aluminum housings. Proper thread engagement depth prevents bottoming out while maintaining full contact with the slide’s cutouts.

Installation requires no gunsmithing—just a properly sized hex key (not included) and torque wrench. The screws are designed to replace factory hardware that may loosen under sustained fire. Their length accounts for most popular micro red dot footprints when used with Canik’s adapter plates.

Note that over-torquing can damage both the screw and your optic’s mounting system. These are not “one size fits all” solutions; verify your specific Canik model’s optic cut pattern before ordering. The included spares allow for loss or wear replacement during maintenance.

Compatibility

Fits most Canik models with RMRcc or Shield RMS optic cuts, including:

• TP9 SFx/SF Elite
• METE SFT/SFX
• Elite Combat/Executive
• Rival/Rival-S

Does not fit TP9SA or early-generation slides without optic milling. Check your slide’s cutout pattern against Canik’s documentation if uncertain.

Installation Overview

1. Remove existing optic plate screws using the correct hex key size
2. Clean screw threads and optic cutout with degreaser
3. Hand-start each screw to confirm proper alignment
4. Torque to 12-15 in/lbs in a crisscross pattern
5. Apply thread locker sparingly if desired (not included)

Always function-test your firearm after installing any new components.

FAQ

Q: Are these identical to factory Canik screws?
A: They match OEM dimensions but use upgraded steel and coating for durability.

Q: Will these work with Holosun 407K/507K?
A: Yes, when using Canik’s provided adapter plate for K-footprint optics.

Q: How many rounds before checking tightness?
A: Re-check torque after 200-300 rounds, then periodically during cleaning.

Q: Why include washers?
A: Prevents marring optic bases and improves load distribution under recoil.

Q: Can I use blue Loctite?
A: Yes, but apply sparingly—excess can wick into optic electronics.
