Dimpling for the set screws is tough due to the fact the other side of the handguard prevents a straight shot with the drill. Also I managed to both bend the shit out of the spiralock and draw blood trying to get it on. Finally because you can't get a full turn on the set screws but instead have to use a series of small turns my threadlock started to harden up before I could get them tight.
Again this is not a negative comment about Mount-n-slot and their product and probably more a commentary on my mechanical ability. I think its a fine product at a fair price. I just wanted to give another perspective for those who may want to perform this install. For me if IWC decides to start offering moe's with this already installed I would gladly pay a small premium for the service.
