Quick question. My Reflex came in today and reading the optic installation manual (FNs), they say torque to 6-8 inch pounds regardless of what optic manual says. I’ve never used less than 15 inch pounds to mount an optic (and never lost one). Curious as to what you torqued your optic to during mounting (assuming you used a torque wrench).

The FN Reflex optic mounting guide actually says “DO NOT TORQUE SCREWS DOWN BEYOND 6 TO 8 IN/LBS (EVEN IF OTHERWISE RECOMMENDED BY THE OPTICAL SIGHT MANUFACTURER), IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND FUNCTIONAL ISSUES TO THE FIREARM.”

I gotta say, using that low of torque for mounting an optic does cause me some concern, especially when they also state not to use thread locker since they have some type of nylon patch on their screws.

I probably won’t get to range until next week, and that trip will be without optic (I always like to put a new gun through its paces without an optic before I add an optic - just one less variable if there are issues).

I used a fat wrench set at 10 lbs. and blue Loctite. I'm probably at around 300 rounds and not issues yet.
