Frequently Asked Questions

How do you properly torque the screws on a Trijicon RCR optic?

The Trijicon RCR uses a capstand screw system. You'll use the provided torque specification card and the supplied Allen key. Tighten the screws until the Allen key bends to the specified degree on the card, acting as a visual torque indicator.

Why is the Allen key for the Trijicon RCR designed to bend?

The Allen key is designed to bend to act as a visual indicator for the correct torque. This 'angle of nut' method ensures you don't over-tighten, which could strip or snap the screws, making installation safer and more reliable.

Can I use my own torque wrench on Trijicon RCR screws?

While a torque wrench might seem ideal, the Trijicon RCR's design relies on the bending of the supplied Allen key for precise torque. Using a standard torque wrench might not achieve the intended result and could lead to over-tightening if not used with extreme care and knowledge of the specific angle method.
