Hi!
Impact Weapons Components, LLC announces our latest NEW PRODUCT!
IWC's QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT for Magpul Industries M.O.E. Buttstock is now available from IMPACT WEAPONS COMPONENTS (http://www.impactweaponscomponents.com/product/qd-rotation-limited-buttstock-sling-mount-n-slot/)
Many manufacturers are including the M.O.E. line of components as standard equipment on their AR platform rifles, including, S&W M&P, Bushmaster M.O.E. and Noveske's 14.5" SKINNY CARBINE.
Previously, customers and LE Departments who purchase these rifles are not able to attach the popular Push Button Quick Detach Sling Swivels to their rifles because the M.O.E. Buttstock does not include a built-in QD Socket. If they wanted a QD Socket, they needed to purchase a separate Rear Receiver or Buffer Tube installed QD adaptor, or, replace the M.O.E. Buttstock entirely with another buttstock, say a CTR by Magpul.
So IWC designed our PATENT PENDING QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT for Buttstocks to be a user-installed, cost effective solution to this problem. Compare these alternative solutions to IWC's QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT for Buttstocks.

Great idea! Steep price...
Looks good but for the price of the mount & the stock (33.90+45=$78.9) you could buy the CTR ($72).
Nice for people that already have the MOE though.

Where are you seeing those prices? Most reputable dealers have them at $57 and $92. The price is a wash IMO, but you do get the anti rotation, which is a nice benefit.
A heavy duty QD won't rotate in a CTR either. The cheek rest prevents it. I like some of the solutions from IWC, even this one but I agree it is pricey.
I agree with the other posters. Pricey for sure but I guess if you have money to burn or dont have any other alternative.
I just received one of these this past Thursday along with the handguard slot they make and I'm pleased so far. Screwed both ends on and tried to jostle it around to see if either end came loose, neither end budged; feels solid to me. Can't put to it to any "hard" use until I actually get some class time, and I don't think driving a brown truck delivering brown boxes while wearing brown socks puts me in the category of being armed on the job. All in all a thumbs up, along with their light mount.

Its Not about having money to burn, its about the CTR being right around the price of the MOE+this, so what's the point? I guess for those who already have the MOE, but seriously$ 30? It should be less.
I'll just get a CTR when the time comes.
Not to disparage the quality of the product I am sure it is top notch. I have three items from them myself.
I don't understand why using a stub from Gear Sector with a Side Release Buckle attached to the back of a two point sling and threaded through the slots in the MOE stock is not a good solution.

Some people, like myself, like to have the sling either completely attached to the rifle, or sompletely not, without spare buckles and straps in the way. I outfitted my ARs with QD front and back swivels to make it easy to swap slings on any weapon with ease.
For the amount of machining and finish work that goes into that one little piece, $30 seems more than fair to me.

I don't think anyone is saying the price isn't fair. The issue is that with the cost of it and the stock you could get the CTR which would have the QD built in and therefore avoid having to bolt a piece on.
It is however nice for people who purchased a MOE then later realized they needed a QD on the stock.
Agree with much of the above. I like to have slings either fully on or fully off the gun, but would buy the CTR if I wanted a QD slot on the stock. As it is I buy the MOE because I do not (either hard-attach the sling or attach at receiver endplate).
I admire the ingenuity and the niche, but other that someone that somehow feels stuck with the MOE I'm not sure why you'd opt for this option. Even if you already had a MOE and regretted it, selling it used and buying a CTR used seems the better choice. I would prefer having an integral part to having more joints as well.
As a strong MOE user, I might consider these if they were $10-15 simply to have another option on my rifle but at a combined price that puts it over the price of the integral solution I'll pass.
I don't think anyone is saying the price isn't fair.

....but seriously$ 30? It should be less.
Great option for the LE departments already outfitted with the MOE. Allows use of QD without having to spend even more money for a different stock.
Like the products coming out of IWC....please keep them coming.
This:
There is a difference between a price being fair and something beign worth the price for what it does. Would it be a better buy for $20? Oh yeah. But $30 prices it in line with similar products.

I can understand that.
I look at similarly to Rob S. If having a sling attach in a particular way is important to me I'm going to buy the stock or Receiver Extension end plate that allows me to attach it EXACTLY how I want it. I'm not going to try to make something work to save less than $30.
Also a small ring of cabling through the sling slots on an moe make for a great place to snap in a HK hook and when the sling is removed there isn't anything of note attached.

There is cost to manufacture, and then there is cost of competing products, and then there is cost that the market will bear.
It would cost me thousands of dollars to travel to India and scoop up some actual Indian elephant turds. This does not mean that upon arrival back in Florida I can sell said turds for a price sufficient to cover my costs. Especially when anyone desiring elephant turds can simply visit the Miami Metro Zoo and pick up the domestic equivalent.
I like the innovations out of IWC. This particular piece may have more niche appeal, but for someone like me stuck in a ban state with a pinned MOE stock, this new component is a better solution than hacking off the MOE and replacing it with a CTR just to get a QD swivel point.

While this does come close to negating the price difference between a CTR and MOE w/ mount it will be a great addition for people who purchased MOE stocks as a upgrade in the past or bought a complete rifle that came equipped with a MOE stock.
IWC's gear is top notch, and good quality comes with a price when you are buying from a small company that does their own design/R&D and manufactures in the US. DD, Gear Sector, etc. are also all in this price range for mounts.
To clarify, yes i was saying that it should be less in order to make it worth purchasing.

Nobody here is debating this, and nobody here has posted anything to the contrary. I do not know why people keep repeating this.
The price critiques have nothing to do with this, and repeating this over and over again is a red herring designed to put words, or imply meaning, where there is none.
The mount adapter looks solid.
But having an MOE stock myself, I can't see paying that much for this adapter. A little 550 cord and I'll rig something up just fine.
However, I guess it would save me from having to buy whole CTR if I decided to change stocks....I just don't see that happening.
Would be useful to a purchaser buying for a unit/group/agency that has MOEs and want that functionality without buying a lot of CTRs, this would save them money.

I love it. I guess If I didnt already have an MOE stock, I'd buy the CTR. But since I have the MOE $30 is fine with me. IWCs customer service, quality and warranty is worth it to me.
I didn't even finish reading all the replys. All I know is people complaining about the price of a product they won't buy is stupid. I will add if it was Magpul or KAC you would GLADLY pay at least $30.00 for it.... :p
