Iwc Mount N Slot Install

I recently mentioned that Impact Weapons Components (IWC) is offering Magpul MOE Hand Guards with their QD Micro MOUNT-N-SLOT pre-installed by IWC. Now I have a sample of the hand guards in hand so that I can check out the QD Micro MOUNT-N-SLOT and the quality of the installation for myself.

IWC is the designer and manufacturer of the MOUNT-N-SLOT series of direct attach mounts for weapon lights, control pieces and slings. You may have already seen the Thorntail and side- and top-mount cantilevered mounts in action on the range. IWC’s Radial will the very first reversible light mount. One side will accept the Surefire M300. Directly attaches to any slot on M-LOK Compliant Rails and ALL Magpul MOE Handguards including MOE AR15/M4/M16/SR25/M110 Original & M-LOK, MOE SL M-LOK, MOE AK/AKM M-LOK, MOE Remington 870 Original & M-LOK and MOE Mossberg 590/590A1 Original & M-LOK. Review: IWC QD MICRO MOUNT-N-SLOT as installed into a MOE I've been following the development of IWC's latest limited rotation QD mount for several months now, and when Earl at IWC offered me the chance to test and evaluate it in one of my midlength MOE handguards I jumped at the chance. IWC then finishes the mount in Black Oxide to prevent rust & corrosion. 100% LIFETIME WARRANTY. Return for full refund. IWC's MOUNT-N-SLOT products are MADE BY AMERICANS. Comes complete with necessary instructions for simple installation. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - MOE w/ QD MICRO MOUNT-N-SLOT.

IWC uses a jig to allow them to precisely and repeatably locate the hole that must be drilled in order to install the QD Micro MOUNT-N-SLOT in the MOE Hand Guards. The result is a very clean looking installation. At first glance, the modification is barely noticeable. It looks like it was meant to be there.

IWC installs the QD Micro MOUNT-N-SLOT very close to the receiver end of the hand guards. This serves a couple of purposes. First, placing your sling mount closer to the receiver increases the mobility of the rifle. You can move the rifle through more shooting and manipulation positions without the sling pulling so taught as to hinder movement. This location also happens to have enough “meat” to allow mounting the QD Micro MOUNT-N-SLOT on any of the three lengths of MOE Hand Guards.

The QD Micro MOUNT-N-SLOT itself is very slick. This is about as low profile and light weight as a sling mount can get. It nests inside the hand guard with only a small metal ring protruding through to give a clue that there is a sling mount present. There is a split ring on the outside that prevents the QD Micro from falling back into the hand guards and 2 small set screws inside that prevent it from spinning. I am also happy to note that there are several rotation stops that prevent the sling swivel from spinning. This is an incredibly economical, simplistic, and clever approach to mounting a sling.
