Also I doubt you went over board on the Vc-3. It will break free fairly easily but it resists loosening from vibrations.

My new BL 19.5 MOS finally here, and the C&H v3 plate and RMR are in hand. VC-3 is on order, it should be here Saturday. I did a quick test fit of the MOS plate and optic, but will not be shooting it until the threadlocker is in place. I also just ordered small bits for the Fatwrench that will work for these fasteners that should be here Saturday, they seem to be 5/64” and 1/16” but may be metric so I have both coming. I’m using the fasteners supplied by C&H.
Nick, do I apply the VC-3 to all four screws or just the ones mounting the plate to the slide?
Here it is ready for the threadlocker:

Well, crap. Amazon screwed up my order for the VC-3, it won’t be here until Monday (instead of today) - I expected to sight in the RMR tomorrow or Monday. I can’t find the stuff at retail - has anyone had luck finding it over the counter?
The C&H hardware is not metric, this is the cheap set I bought for now. I’ll keep an eye out for quality 1/16” and 5/64” bits.

I'll cross 2,000 rounds with the CHPWS v3 plate and an RMR07 Type 2 today. I'll do a brief write-up once it's done, but so far -- apart from an install error -- no issues and no zero loss.
What a pain in the ass.
I dry assembled everything a few days ago, and even torqued the RMR-to-plate fasteners to 10 inch/pounds using my brandy-dandy new Wheeler Fatwrench. The VC-3 arrived today, and the fasteners were frozen in place. One popped with a crack after turning the hex key into spiral art, but I had to drill the other out. No biggie, but these are fasteners that need to be pulled at every battery change.
The VC-3 is curing right now, but I also applied a dab of antiseize to the countersinks on both the mounting plate and the RMR. I’m certain it was friction between the fastener head and the countersink that caused the problem.
