How this slide mounts an opticCanik's Rival manuals number the interfaces R01 to R06 and R04C. The Rival (Gray) comes with R01, R02, R04 and R06, the Rival Dark Side adds R04C, and the Rival-S comes with R01, R02, R04, R06 and R04C; R03 and R05 are sold separately. Canik's product pages count the plates in the case differently (three for the Rival, two or three for the Rival-S) and say they are in the case after a serial number, so check what is in your case. The R interfaces are made for the Rival's serrations; Canik says a model that fits one of the TP9's numbered interfaces may use the matching R interface too. No Canik document gives a thread or a torque for the interfaces or the optic screws, and the manual says to use the interface screws that came with the pistol.
