Curious what is available to someone looking to mount a QD sling attachment point along the fore-end of an M4 that sports a Magpul MOE handguard.

I've checked out their website for a list of the accessories available for the MOE handguard, and the only sling-related item is this one, which does not appear to be a QD-compatible piece: http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG504/51

Is there a piece similar to that, that simply provides a QD attachment point on the MOE handguard?

If you choose this option, they'll install it for you for a few dollars more, you just have to send them the handguard. The price includes return shipping. I've had them do a few of my handguards for me and they all work/look great. Turn around is a couple weeks.

OP, I started out with that version, but wound up with the flush version. It works much better IMO.

You can get a drill bit to install it yourself from HD/Lowes. Very simple to install.

Echoing what Rider79 and n517rv said, the micro mount is definitely a slicker mount and I much prefer it over the fatter one. Regardless, anything from IWC is good stuff.

IWC on most of my guns. One HK and the rest the QD. Awesome gear and an Awesome owner. Very helpful. Shoot them an order. You will be happy.

On a side note; would the IWC mount and slot micro install in other plastic components like an M4 stock?

For that, you may want a cup only, unless you can figure out a way to come at it from the inside

I was wondering about this being compatible with the sling slot on a standard M4 stock as well. The slot on the magpul handguards and the sling slot on an M4 stock seem to be very similar in size...would it work? I'm not sure what the above poster meant by "unless you can get at it from the inside"

I also have IWC and have been considering doing a flush model

IWC flush mount is easy to do and IMO a better option. I ran one on my rifle length MOE and also run one on my Troy Extreme rail.

For an M4 stock, this one might work better.

As for "unless you can get at it from the inside" I think he is referring to mounting the flush mount adapter. You have to be able to get to the other side to tighten the set screws. I used on of those in a Houge stock on my shotgun just like you would for a MOE handguard.

You might consider the Noveske QD mount (http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=fm-qd&cat=165&page=1&search=&since=&status=&title=). Very clever design.

FYI - This Noveske Design relies on Permanent Loctite to prevent the outer threaded QD socket from unthreading from the inner locking plate.

Thanks for the input/options guys, that Noveske one looks perfect for my M4 stock...
