suck, at least for the RMR footprint since it uses 2 set screws in lieu of studs for the front holes.
Other than advising which fasteners to use, there are no details on how to install and the video fast forwards thru this step.
The holes for the set screws are drilled/tapped all the way through. I assume the dude knows how far to screw them in(but doesn’t share that info), but instructions related to their V2.0 mount advise installing the set screws from the bottom.
So instead of following their instructions, prior to installing the mount on the receiver install the RMR footprint dot first.
put the dot on with the 2 rear screws snug
apply loctite then install the 2 set screws from the bottom until snug
If the tag was correct, Ruger has a new MKIV with some sort of factory installed multi pattern micro dot mount in lieu of the standard 1913 rail, although I don’t see it on their site yet.
It did not appear to be a direct copy of the Tandem Kross or at least it didn’t have the TK logo and the screw pattern didn’t appear to be quite the same.
Unlikely that any micro dots would be able to cowitness with the factory irons(same with the TK), but it will be a lot lower mount setup than any options using the 1913 rail.
I think I have seen that pistol. I will look again after this.
Back when Red Dot sights were new and unique I saw someone was making and selling Glock Slide, with the mount, Suppressor Sights with a Trijicon of your choice for like $750.00.
That was big money for me at the time so I had a small piece of rail installed on my 50 year old Ruger Mark I and install a Burrins Fast Fire. The thing worked like a charm a competed against some kids at the local range a couple of times.
So I bought the Glock Slide package deal and Haven’t looked back, it was a solid investment.
Now years ago someone tried to teach me how to point shoot a pistol. Now I would imagine that red dot might work like training wheels for point shooting.
Yeah it looks like they haveat least two models with rail straight from the factory.
Got to check out the Ruger mini dot plate and it is definitely not a Tandem Kross/direct copy.
The Ruger uses pins for the recoil lugs instead of using set screws as recoil lugs that Tandem Kross went which means no guessing/adjusting depth with the Ruger.
