EDIT - UPDATE 1/19/2022

Parts are in. Attempted to get admin response. Estimate shipping ready within 1 week as we're waiting for shipping inserts.
email Info@patniksolutions.com for more information.

We have parts in hand and are shipping next week pending our packaging inserts arriving. Can't wait to get them in your hands! We've shipped 1 to a beta tester/eager beaver to validate we are who we say we are and that we're here to help you on this project. Thanks for everyone's enthusiastic responses!



EDIT - UPDATE 12/20/21
We have successfully prototyped our first aluminum adapter. It offers about a lower 1/4 co-witness with suppressor height sights. Untested with stock sights. Made from T7075-T6 aluminum coming in black anodizing. The first batch was ordered and will arrive in early January. We will test fit and finish and then look here for the early adopters! Pricing will be about $60 per plate! We anticipate shipping in mid to late January!

Here are some pictures.




I designed an adapter plate which will permit you to put a full size RMR onto a Canik TP9 SFX Mete.

The plate will be made out of aluminum and red anodized. My prototype in the photo is made out of ABS and functioned well with 100 rounds of testing.
I am hiring a contract manufacturer to build these for me. Pricing will be based on quantity of customers for the run.

FAQ:
1. Will I be able to use my sights?
You will need suppressor height sights to maintain use of irons.
2. Will this work for optic XYZ?
Holosun and other RMR formatted optics will also be compatible.
3. Why is the plate so tall?
The plate cannot be made shorter due to the need to add new threaded holes on top of the slide for the RMR mounting screws.
4. Why did you do this instead of just getting an SFX?
The design intent of this product is purely to accommodate METE owners who don't want to buy an RMRCC when they already have an RMR and like the METE features.
5. When can I have this?
I don't know yet, I need a minimum quantity of buyers to justify having these made and at that time I will also learn lead times
6. How much is this?
See FAQ #5
7. How can I pay for this?
When I get to that point I will accept PayPal and Venmo Goods and Services.
8. Who are you and why should I buy this from you?
I am an individual unranked USPSA competition shooter with training certifications from Massad Ayoob, Modern Samurai Project, John Farnam, others. I am an engineer at a company that manufactures
3D printers. You should buy this from me if that's good enough for you and you see the need.



Please simply reply here or PM me if you are interested in this adapter plate. Thank you all.



Thanks,
Nick

Edited to clarify contact method.

Man, I cannot wait till you get enough people interested!!!! This will be a game changer for those of us wanting a larger optic!!!! (No-perspective1966)

I'm interested in a plate too. How can I email you?

Depending on what the price of this project winds up being, I am tentatively very interested. Count me in.

Does the plate have to be that thick or could it be thinner? Have you tested it with suppressor height sights?

I would definitely be interested in two, I have the sft and my brother has the sfx. Would like to know the price beforehand.

This is a new member to our forum that we know nothing about. I'd be cautious about sending anyone money before you see legitimate product reviews. Not saying this is a scam, but again, this is a new forum member and no history here, and has not asked for permission to sell on this forum.

Also this is not facebook no need to hide sales.

I understand you may be unwilling to post the stl file, but you may be able to drum up interest is you offer to sell the plastic 3d printed version , for a few bucks, for people to try it out.

Hi all, putting a few minds at ease here to the best of my ability and answering some questions. 1. I work for a 3D printer manufacturer, so I cannot sell or make available a 3d printed version or sell the STL file to avoid potential conflict of interest. My name is Nick Schmidt and here is my facebook profile, linkedin profile, instagram:

I am not a business, I'm an individual who designed this plate. I'd like to make a few bucks off of it, but am more interested in having enough demand to even have it made because I'm not a manufacturer and don't have equipment to make this piece.
I'm not currently accepting any money, so can't actually scam you. Price will be based on demand, and I'm approaching 20 interested people. I'd obviously provide pricing once I know how many I can purchase. It's common with contract manufacturing to have a wildly different price per piece based on how many you order.
My email address is tntsparkz@gmail.com
Helicoils are an option, but there will at least be provided screws, provided loctite and a torque spec.

@Ghostwolf308 , see FAQ 3 on main post. I am confident based on basic measurements that suppressor height sights will be visible and functional through the glass of the optic. I am not confident and highly doubt that an absolute cowitness would be possible.

Edited to add an answer to a question.

@Janik I see you are a mod. May I ask you for permission to sell this once I have it priced and am actually capable of making it deliverable as a product, which I currently cannot do, and thus am not accepting any money?

Keep us posted on the progress. I know a lot of people, even many who are not on this forum, would like to install a full size red dot on their METE if it's possible. Question comes up quite a bit in our FB group with 31,000 members.

That is a straighforward part to make out of aluminum. How many do you want?

I am interested in purchasing one. I just bought a swampfox justice and would love to mount it on my CANIK METE SFX without altering the holes of the optic!!!

@NCLibertarian I am considering a first run of 50 to 100 units. I have added serrations to the sides and have a prototype with serrations that match the Canik slide serrations, and ones that are vertical. I imagine the vertical ones are cheaper to machine and thus will yield a cheaper product but not look as good.

@EVERETTHOME Glad you're here and thank you for your interest.

ALL: PROGRESS UPDATE - I have added serrations and ordered some night fision suppressor height sights to validate visibility. After validation of suppressor height sights and serrations I will get a machined prototype, test it with 200 rounds, and tally the total interest to order the first run. Thanks!!

I am very interested and will buy price depending. Thank you!

Straight or angled serrations won't make any difference in the cost.

Adding the serrations in any form will add to the cost. With no serrations it is a 2-operation manufacturing process. Adding the serrations turns it into either a 4-operation process for a 3-axis machine, or a 2-operation process requiring at least a 4th axis and some fixturing to hold it for the 2nd operation.


I can make them if you don't have anyone you know to do it. If you are interested, let me know and we can talk directly. Here are some parts I made recently, far more complex than these optic mounts:

I am interested in one also, please let us know when they are ready and what the price will be.

Thanks
