Hi!
We added a link to the M4 Carbine Hand Guard install on IWC's QD MICRO MOUNT-N-SLOT Product Details page.
Here's the Link: http://www.impactweaponscomponents.c...d-micro-mount/
Thanks go out to MikePapa95B for the awesome pics of his install. We spoke this week... his install is still secure and he loves the kit!
MOUNT-N-SLOT
Installed! Not without a little drama though...
Well, I attempted to install my QD Micro mount tonight in my midlength MOE. Everything seemed to go smoothly all the way up to the point where I had to mount that evil little Spirolock. That's when things got interesting...
I had just got it started in the groove using a small screwdriver when, sproing! The bloody thing went flying across my garage.
I searched where I thought it had landed based on my not-so-superhuman hearing of the impact. After emptying out a number of shelves looking for the ring, I very luckily found it hiding like a sniper in the dust bunnies under the shelving unit. Luck was on my side tonight I guess.
Not wanting to repeat the same experience, I took the mount, ring, screwdriver and hanguard and virtually inserted my entire upper body into a large clear bag, trying hard to mitigate the threat of another dreadful sproing incident. Eventually with some more luck, the little ring finally caught the groove properly and I was able to encourage it to go the rest of the way and be fully seated.
The rest of the install was easy in comparison and it's now good to go for my build this Saturday.
All in all, it's a slick little QD mount that looks like it totally belongs on the handguard. Nice job IWC and thanks for the helpful install tips HeavyDuty.
Cheers,
