New Noveske NSR rail!

[Brahmzy]

Brahmzy,

Enjoy new ideas. Just two thoughts:
1. Is there enough room between the screws? Don't know if you have as much room there as you do between two Keymod slots like Noveske's current QD mount.
2. Slings get tensioned. Aren't we attaching our sling mount directly to our barrel nut?

Yes, I was going completely on memory yesterday, LOL. After I decided to actually LOOK at the screw location spacing last night, the mount would have to look something like this (and it be VERY close - JUST enough room I think to sneak the screws next to the QD ring):



As far as putting a sling mount there? The NSR barrel nut system is so freaking solid, I wouldn't think twice - and think of how every other rail mounts - to the barrel nut. So the near-receiver integrated mounts on every other rail are putting just as much pressure, make that MORE pressure on the barrel nut.

Anyway, I'll quit cluttering up the thread with my MS Paint drawings, LOL! I think the brains at Noveske have probably already thought of this before the NSR was ever released and shitcanned the idea, or have something in the works, or think the existing KeyMod QD mount is sufficient. They get the idea.

Hmac,

You are welcome to borrow my crow's foot
Just ship her back when done.

Thank you for the generous offer. My son has a complete set of SnapOn crowfoots. If his won't work, I'll PM you. Thanks again.

Yes, directly rather than indirectly as it would screw directly into the barrel nut rather than attach to the rail which is in turn attached to the barrel nut. It would also be a short lever instead of a long lever and thus less likely to exert force on the barrel nut.

Interestingly, I just discovered that the holes in the IWC QD micro mount align perfectly with the NSR barrel nut holes. The IWC QD holes are smaller, so the NSR screws don't fit through. It is close though (sorry, no pics at the moment). (IWC QD micro mount)

Depending on how IWC produces their micro QD mounts, it could be a very simple change that would really only require leaving some extra room to make larger diameter holes for the NSR screws to pass through.

I sent a product request with a link to this thread to IWC. We'll see if they respond. Done correctly, I know this would sell.

I have already contacted Noveske with my idea. We will see what happens.

That would rock if they fast-tracked something in this climate.

Great idea and I will buy a bunch!

Sounds like a great idea, mounting the sling QD to the barrel nut. Likely securing it to the rail itself with Noveske's keymod device will work fine too-I use an IWC mounted to the carbine-length MOE on one of my rifles and that's worked fine in relatively hard use.
