I ordered a 1" Mount yesterday together with a G2X light. The current version of the mount is ambidextrous and works with any size MOE Hand guard...just fyi.
I can't wait to check it out!

Would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison to Magpul's own mount.
The MOE Scout Mount

Are they shipping yet? I tried to order a pair recently and they were still a pre order. I am sure it will be well made and designed. One difference right off is the IWC mount will work on either side of the handguards. The price difference is a consideration too. My IWC mounts should be here soon. I look forward to trying them out.
And Doc I am qualified with hand tolls and a cordless drill. Anything else I need close supervision! :secret:
Well my light mounts arrived today. I took a few photos of a G2LED in the IWC mount and a SF Scout on a MagPul Rail. The IWC keeps the light closer to the gun keeping the footprint thinner. I plan to order one for my Scout Light too. I am once again impressed with Earl and the crew at IWC.

A pair of BCM 11.5" barreled uppers.
I sent a pair of hand guards off to Earl and his crew at IWC so they could put their QD mount in my MOE hand guards, If you plan to do it in the future all you need to send is the top half of your hand guards. I also added my second light mount. I have to find my torx head bits (to remove my scout lights OEM mount) to add the IWC light to my third gun.

The smallest Torx I had at home was a #10. I went to the local hardware store and found a T8 to remove the OEM SF rail mount. I like the smaller profile of the scout set up.

I use one of the IWC Mounts on my 11.5 inch duty gun. I have been well pleased as in put the light in the perfect position for me.
