M3 · 6 mm long
Aimpoint SM-2001/2007 Micro T1/T2 mount takes M3 metric screws, 6 mm long.
It is listed for mount manual: five M3 x 6 Torx T10 screws attach the sight to the mount.
Head and drive, as the source states them: Torx T10 drive.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from germangunworks.com.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Do not confuse metric mounting screws with the 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 tripod threads that cameras and clamps also carry.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 6 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source names a Torx T10 drive. For comparison, standard M3 heads take PH1 (Phillips) or T10 (Torx), or a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3
- Camera and tripod mounting threads themselves are imperial 1/4in-20 or 3/8in-16 — the metric M2-M4 screws in rig kits are only for the accessory hardware, not the tripod mount.
- M3 (3.0mm, 0.5mm pitch) is not #6-32 UNC (~3.5mm) — they look identical and cross-thread, the single most common PC-building mistake.
