Frequently Asked Questions

How do you install an AOS plate on a Springfield TRP 1911?

To install an AOS plate, first field strip the pistol and remove the factory rear sight plate. Then, carefully align and secure the AOS plate onto the slide, ensuring it sits flush and is properly seated before proceeding to mount your optic.

What is the purpose of witness marks on optic mounting screws?

Witness marks, typically made with a permanent marker, are applied to optic mounting screws after they have been torqued to specification. They serve as a visual indicator to quickly check if the screws have loosened due to recoil, ensuring the optic remains secure.

Why is a torque wrench important for red dot sight installation?

A torque wrench, like the Wheeler FAT WRENCH, is crucial for red dot sight installation to ensure screws are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque. Overtightening can damage the optic or slide, while undertightening can lead to the optic coming loose and losing zero.

What accessories are shown being installed on the Springfield TRP?
