Review: IWC QD MICRO MOUNT-N-SLOT as installed into a MOE

[Heavy Metal]

Ok guys, I am putting one of these in a Cav Arms C-1 Buttstock. Any advice before I start?

All,
I have just finished installing 2 QD Micro Mount N Slot sling mounts. 1 is on an MOE midlength HG and the other is on an MOE Carbine length HG. The product is just wonderful, easy to mount and it works very well. The Carbine HG was a little more tricky to work with. I had to rotate the mount to the vertical position instead of the horizontal position that I used on the Midlength HG. I also had to shave down one of the alignment pins on the bottom section of the HG as the pin was hitting the bottom of the QD mount. The pin is the one closest to the HG ring. Again, excellent product and satisfaction level is very high.

Did this work this past week.

I alos roughed the inside of the stock and used some plastic-specific epoxy as a reinforcement and I used a whole tube on both attachments.

I ordered a set of carbine length hand guards with pre-installed QD mount. Excellent setup (much to the envy of fellow shooters, who now have IWC contact info ). It was absolutely worth the money, and really expands the utility of the 'basic' hand guards.

I sent two of my carbine handguards out to IWC and had the QD mount installed. I also just ordered a set for my new naked Kino upper. They work great.

I'm doing the same, and would like to know how to do it.

Okay I'm confused. How do you tighten the set screws, if you can't get at them from the side?

Put is closer to the buttplate and you can get them with the allen wrench. You can also wedge one end into the space where the buffer tube rides.

I have done several now and rough the inside with sandpaper and use Epoxy made for plastics to make its installation permanent.

Thanks for the info!

Could you give me the approximate distance from the end of the C1 to the center of the socket, and the top of the stock to the center of the socket?

Installed mine yesterday:






These were designed to work on standard handguards, and the C1 buttstock is much thinner. There was maybe a 1mm gap between the stock surface and the QD insert, so I epoxied under and around to help stabilize it, since slings can add a lot of force through the mount:
