Kind of an odd question but I am looking if there are any QD mounts out there intended to be screwed into wood. All of the ones I have come across come with screws intended to be screwed into a rail. If not are there any out there you guys know of that do not have a captive screw so I could replace the screw for a wood screw?
I’m sure you are wondering what role this will fill too…Ive been hired by an organization that I cannot name to operate in locations I cannot speak about… volume will be turned to 11.
I kid…I want to put this on a telecaster project I am building because I do not really like any strap locks currently on the market and would much prefer a QD mount. The body is made out of swamp ash if anybody is curious…I was thinking maybe somebody out there makes a QD mount intended to be screwed into a shotgun or AK type stock.
Never had one come undone and I’ve even got one screwed into swamp ash Strat ( Warmoth ). Been in there for near 20 years and haven’t failed yet. Throw some Sperzel locking tuners on and it will even stay in tune too!
Warmoth should have some. They look like a half cup and the guitar strap has a pushbutton attachment that locks into the cup. They use a wood screw through the middle to attach to the guitar.
Schallers are what I have. Guess you are looking for something more tactical style.
There are also flush mounted quick release cups that would mount down into the wood with screw down the middle to hold it in. You would just have to drill a hole for the qd cup to recess into.
You can what you want, but I have these on most of guitars and never, not once have they slipped, popped, or otherwise not seated firmly. ZERO failure.
On the other hand, with very little use I have had those QRs on my AR seem like they were engaged only to find that they slipped out on multiple occasions.
Also don’t forget the Dunlops are made to capture a large area of your strap and stay put. Not sure how your strap will attach easily unless you intend to use a sling as well.
GuitarCenter or Sam Ash, Ebay they are a little cheaper. You know you will need more for every guitar and strap too.
You might want to check that one above for the rifle. It says it comes with anti-rotation socket… I don’t know if that means it works rotation and anti-rotation but I can’t imagine a strap that doesn’t rotate.
Also don’t forget you sit your guitar down on that release and will it get pressed in doing so? you know, maybe it will look cool, but is it really the way to go?
Magpul type 2 QD. It’s basically a qd with a hole in the bottom, intended for use with UBR stocks. You can countersink it partway and attach it with an appropriate size lag screw and off you go.
