Just got one new in the plastic bag, so what wrench should I use to tighten it up? None included in the bag with the sight.

Thanks

it's a wide ass screwdriver, use blue loctite and don't over tighten it. push it towards the front of the rifle before you start tightening

The Matech uses an allen head, 3mm I think.

Ditto on the over tightening, the screw head is big but the screw body is thin. If you do over torque it and break it, you can always get our improved screw and bracket kit for it

Snug the screw then no more than 1/4 turn from there. Any more than that and you risk breaking the clamp plate.

Thanks Guys,

3mm allen head, yeah I think that might work, funny thing the one I have came with a similar looking clamp (like the one pictured) for the opposite rail, but they are held together with the one screw that has a small aperture, it has a bit of lock-tite on the screw, but is too tight to turn by hand. I just wanted to be sure not to strip it by using the wrong tool.
