Part Number:OPF-G, RMR
NOTE:
OPF-G, RMR is designed for Glock's MOS and Trijicon RMR and SRO.  If you use a Holosun and the long set of screws with OPF-G, RMR, you will risk damaging the plate.  Holosun sights have 90 degree countersink screw holes, while RMR and SRO use 82 degree countersink.  In addition, the supplied RMR sight to plate screws (5-32 x 3/8) are longer than what Holosun includes.  Do not use our sight to plate screws with Holosun sights.

Due to the +/- 0.005 tolerance of RMR and SRO, the plate may need to be fitted in order for the sight to fully seat.  This should not be considered a drop in part.

Trijicon's tolerance between the recoil lugs to the front radiused edge of the RMR is +/- 0.005.  While every OPF-G, RMR has been tested on our RMR and SRO, there is always a chance it might not fit your RMR/SRO without fitting.  OPF-G, RMR's design cradles the sight tightly on the plate between the plate's front and rear fences,  some fitting may be required.  A competent gunsmith can do it easily if you're uncomfortable with fitting the plate to your sight.

OPG-G, RMR is compatible with G40, and new G20 with 1.125" slides.  Both RMR and OPF-G, RMR are wider than G17, G17 and G34, and have a slight overhang on both sides of the slide.  On G40 and G20, the overhangs are gone.  The front two corners for the plate don't match the wider slide's contours, this is but cosmetics.





OPF-G, RMR (Optics Platform, Glock, for RMR) is a Glock MOS Adapter Set 01 and Set 02 compatible plate for mounting Trijicon RMR or SRO on Glock Gen 4 and Gen 5 slides, G17, G19, G20, G21 G34, G35, G41, G45, G47 (width 25mm/1 inch.) and G40 that uses Set 02.  Glock's OEM MOS plate's width matches that of the slide, but OPF-G, RMR is already wider to fully support the RMR, thus it is compatible with all MOS equipped Glock slides.

We like the Glock MOS concept, even if we find the factory MOS adapter plates could use some help.  Standards, commonality, availability of parts are all good things.  Heretofore, users have had to send in their slides to be milled to accept mini red dot sights, or opt for 3rd party optics ready slides.  The time it takes to send in the slides to be milled, and varying quality of the milling work and optics ready slides notwithstanding, there was a lack a standard regarding the sight height, it'd be a coincidence if two slides milled by two different shops share the same sight height.   Glock's MOS may not sit as low as some, but in our opinion, what MOS offers more than makes up for it, namely a uniform sight height, ease of installation, parts commonality and availability.

OPF-G, RMR is a collaboration with a USMC combat veteran and former USMC Shooting Team head coach, Tom Shields. We used Glock's MOS adapter plates as a basis, and designed our version of what we think it should and can be.

OPF-G, RMR's shape follows its functions, same as all of our products.  We outlined the following objectives:
1. Sight is to be fully supported in the front and rear by recoil lugs/fences, with minimum movement. 
2. Eliminate the need to use an additional sealer plate.
3. Correct length sight to plate, and plate to slide screws.  Screws are to be Torx.
4. Adapter plate is to be machined in steel.

OPF-G, RMR accomplishes all of the goals outlined above.  Machined in 1018 steel, and black nitrided,  OPF-G, RMR's thickness is unchanged from that of the Glock MOS plate, it doesn't change the sight's mounted height, nor does it require different iron sights.

OPF-RMR is shipped with plate to slide screws (M3-0.5mm x 6mm, same as what Glock MOS plates uses), and sight to plate screws (6/32 x 3/8), a T10 key and a VC3 packet.

Weight: 0.83oz
Plate to slide torque value: 13in/lb
Sight to plate torque value: 13in/lb

Proudly designed and made in USA.


OPF-G,RMR supports the full width of the RMR and SRO, a sealer plate is not necessary.  Trijicon's position is that if the user is unsure, use the sealer plate, and the plate is so thin, if it is used it doesn't make any difference to the thread engagement.  Trijicon's guide line on whether a sealer plate is required: https://www.trijicon.com/frequently-asked-questions/category/rmr-faqs

OPF-G, RMR is designed to sandwich the sight in its front and rear fence, we make the spacing as close to Trijicon's dimensions and tolerance as we can.  Though we hold a 0.003 tolerance, Trijicon's tolerance is 0.005.  In practical terms, this means while some RMRs will move inside the fences by a very small amount, others will need to be forced into the space. 

Vibra-tite VC-3 is included with OPF-G, RMR.  Instructions can be found here: https://www.vibra-tite.com/wp-content/uploads/213_tds.pdf
Vibra-tite also provides a video on the application of VC-3: https://www.vibra-tite.com/portfolio-items/vc-3-threadmate-overview-video/

A T10 key is provided.  A proper torque wrench in inch/lb increments is required to impart the correct torque to the plate to slide, and sight to plate screws. 

For good printable 8x11"  RMR targets please follow this links: 

HOLOSUN COMPATIBILITY:
Trjicon RMR and SRO share the same mounting footprint, OPF-G, RMR is also compatible with SRO.   However, due to the precise fit of the front and rear recoil lugs/fences that are designed to closely sandwich the sight, OPF-G, RMR is not guaranteed to work with all Holosun sights.

Known Holosun sights compatible with OPF-G, RMR:
507C, 507C x2
407C-X2

We do not recommend Holosun 508T with our plates.  508T has a sloppy fit with OPF-G, RMR, the plate can't perform as designed (to hold the sight immobile.)

DO NOT use our supplied sight to plate screws if Holosun sights are used with OPF-G, RMR, you must use the short set of screws that came with your sights.



We recommend the torque wrench Vortex markets (we carry them, but that's not the reason) for its 1 in lb increment adjustment torque settings.  

We will soon stop including the L keys with all OPF products, L keys will become optional, we strongly suggest a proper torque wrench to impart the correct torque value.

As our friend Gary W Thomas II, AIA, NCARB has put it in engineering terms:

To understand the concerns with the Glock OEM MOS plate an explanation of the loads imparted upon the fasteners is required.  When the handgun is fired, the recoil generates a lateral load in the direction of the slide's movement.  This load is transferred through to the fasteners connecting the plate and optic. The Glock OEM plate does not maintain the optic in stasis thereby imparting dynamic lateral loads upon the fasteners at the fastener shear plane.  These loads cannot be resisted by the fasteners indefinitely and may result in mounting failure wherein the fastener shears at the shear plane.  

Forward Controls Design's solution is to maintain the optic in a static position relative to the lateral load path by adding fore and aft recoil lugs about the optic.  The front lug resists the dynamic load imparted by the slide inertia during the slide's rearward travel (ejection cycle) while the rear lug resists the dynamic load imparted by the slide inertia during the slide's forward travel (feed cycle). Therefore, OPF-G, RMR  maintains the optic in a static position relative to the fasteners and thereby effectively reduces (if not deletes) the dynamic lateral load imparted upon the fasteners at the fastener shear plane.

Mr
Great plate for the MOS platform. Very well constructed and designed. Light years ahead of anything else out there and far superior. Great CS, fast shipping, nice packaging and informative. Easy to install. Well worth it. And it's made of steel! Makes the MOS gun like a milled gun. Now it's perfection!

Great Upgrade
This product is Fantastic. It’s STEEL!! Fit and finish are top notch. Parts are labeled in separate bags. My RMR is held tight. Same thickness as factory MOS plate. And comes at a fair price. Awesome! Semper Fi

Received this in about 3 days. Amazing service. The tolerances are so tight that you may have to use a towel and a rubber mallet to gently tap in the optic to the plate. It gets easier after the first couple times. The sandwich is so tight that without any screws, I can turn the optic upside down and shake it without the optic moving at all. Getting it off can be a pain too, twist and pull up as hard as you can enough to take a non-marring flat to slide under the optic and pull up. Overall, the tolerances are like a milled gun. Will see after 500+ rounds.

Best plate on the market
Insanely tight tolerates. Without screws the plate will hold upside down on the slide and the SRO/RMR will hold upside down on the plate. Excellent packaging that is well labeled. Custom torch screws that maximize thread engagement. Attention detail on the whole package is outstanding. Additionally, it shipped super fast. Can’t wait for FCD to bring more plate options to the market.

This plate is milled to perfection. I could feel the precision as I slipped it into place. Fits tighter than OJ's glove. I am so glad that I chose this plate over the competitor's.

It Just Works
Excellent product, installed this instead of the standard Gen 5 MOS Glock Adapter plates for the RMR. Dropped in perfectly, installed the vibratite locker, mounted my optic, set my witness marks, and went to work.

I should’ve don’t this sooner
This plate not only gives you piece of mind but it looks so much better too. Optic went on the plate with just a slight amount of pressure. I really like that they included torque specs and thread locker. Pics are MOS plate vs OPF-G.

Awesome Product
Ordered an Optics Platform for my G34 with SRO. Super snug / perfect fit. Great product overall. Additionally, I want to applaud Forward Controls Design for their great customer service. I ordered something incorrectly and they were very quick to respond and offer a solution. Overall great experience with the company!

Shipped immediately, got it in a couple days. Plate to slide required no fitting. Sight to plate, just a little sanding for a tight fit. Excellent product. Thank you.

Mr.
Another awesome package from well trained shipping monkey logistics! After trying every plate made for my G19 mos I can tell you this is the best on the planet. Fits perfect and never moves. Picked up my first on a trade, 6k rounds later still perfect. This is my third one and I won’t carry or own a different plate.

Incredible Quality and Fit
Great service - I ordered on Black Friday and it arrived Monday USPS - Impressive! Even better was quality and fit in a G19 MOS. There was no sanding, pounding, or adjusting for a perfectly snug fit. I also appreciate the torque specs for the screws and the included thread locker. I'd recommend looking at there other products - Forward Controls has some AR-15 parts I'll be getting in the future.

Bomb-proof MOS plate
Just installed the OPF-G RMR for my Glock 45 MOS with a Trijicon RMR Type 2 (RM06-C-700696) optic. The plate did not need any fitting and was machined exactly to the opening on my Glock slide and to the base of the RMR. I used Locktite 222MS over the supplied VC3 and the installation was simple and straightforward. I have no doubt the OPF-G will outlive the lifecycle of the RMR and maybe even the Glock.

Roger and adapter
After some research I decided I liked the design of this adapter better than the other options out there. The front and rear rails cradled the SRO nice and snug. Fitment was tight and after checking in with Roger on a couple things I wrapped up the install and it's awesome. I highly recommend this product for any Glock MOS/SRO set up! Roger and this company are amazing. Superb support. I might just order another set for my next project!

You NEED this
Ordered this on a Monday at 0630 and received a notification it shipped at 0830. Talk about fast! If you have a MOS you NEED this plate to ensure total protection for your optic. Mounted my optic with ease and there’s a VERY small gap between the back of the optic and back lug. I’m talkin smaller than the width of a piece of paper. I’m very pleased with this. And it’s made in TEXAS.
