I was able to get my hands on some of the new IWC Mlok hardware. It’s awesome.
I have the sling mount, Inline Thorntail mount, and Thorntail II mount.
I’ll show some pics of the Inline and Sling Mount for now, Thorntail II will come later this week.
Inline:
I dont have stats are far as weight and length, but it’s light. You can mount a Scout light in one of four positions on the Inline mount, and it fits tight and flush against the rail.
The sling mount is very light weight, low profile (compare it to the heavier and bulkier BCM mount) and employs a really cool way of capturing the screw heads:
Oh man, that’s a SLICK QD socket. Svelte. I’ve been a fan of all the IWC products I’ve used in the past, if I need another QD socket for an MLOK rail that doesn’t have an integral socket I’ll have to grab one of those up.
I’ve got the Thorntail Inline keymod mount with an M600 Backbone body mounted on my 14.5 BCM KMR upper and it’s fantastic. I had searched for the MLOK version for another rifle but could never seem to find anything. Were these just released? If so, where’d you get them? I checked both IWC and HSP’s websites and couldn’t find it (but I could be blind and just missing them).
These haven’t been released yet, but will be VERY soon. I used to live 5 minutes down the street from IWC, and now live 25 minutes away. I pop into the shop every once in awhile to see whats new and sometimes I leave with super cool stuff.
Lucky you! A few years ago, I had a Magpul handguard that I wanted them to install a flush sling cup into…I asked if I could bring it by the shop. Got a pretty curt reply that that was not possible. Oh wells.
Finally my Remington 870 Police Magnum is complete again. Yeah-yeah I have said many times before. This 870 has served me well for years and lots of rounds, but I could never find a white light setup that I was 200% happy with. I have used other Surefire/IWC setups and they were good about 100% but this setup is now my favorite. Finally…I say again…finally a super slick, snag free, solid mounting solution for an Magpul MOE M-LOK Forend. Ohh from where you ask…made in the USA by Impactweaponscomponents.com or IWC. This weaponlight setup utilizes a Surefire M300B bezel head, Surefire Z68 click tail cap, IWC/HSP Thorntail BACKBONE 300 light body, the all new IWC/HSP Thorntail INLINE M-LOK Adaptive Scout Light mount. I cant begin to express how happy I am with this setup. Rock solid. Check out IWC for mounting solutions for your AR’s, AK’s etc…If you know me…all my kit is very similar and very KISS. -AMM APPROVED #impactweaponscomponents#haleystrategicpartners#surefirescoutlight#magpul#remington870
