I wasn't suggesting it be included, just an extra option for sale. and it wouldn't have to be made of metal, it could be plastic, chipboard, whatever. I'm going to make one out of chipboard for myself I think.

If you have a better solution, like a chipboard spacer to use during mock-up pre-installation, which would help M4C members and others install Impact Weapons Components or any other mfg's. kit for that matter, make it and post it so we all can benefit.
Thanks for helping out.

Thanks, once I looked at it closer I think either would work.
So speaking of hex key's; what size is it that fits the screw? This is where I got hung up on the installation last night as I couldn't find a small enough one to fit.
Agreed but no where near as hard as trying to cut down an MVG with a dremel. I almost went out and bought a damn table saw after that experience.
Is this normal? That's a 0.050" hex key used as a stand-in feeler gauge.

Here's the one I just did on a carbine moe. I have it on the inner ring as well but ended up with half the gap you did Rob. This is the latest version moe if that makes a difference.

Are those gaps all the way around for both of you or just at the bottom? When I was figuring out where to drill it seemed like that area wasn't perfectly flat and curved in toward the top. Seemed like if you either drilled the hole crooked or mounted it with the set screws perpendicular to the slots vs parallel as Quiet-Matt did it could be problematic. :confused:
EDIT:
Thanks, I'm off to Lowes since apparently some of my hex keys have legs. I'll report back once I get the install finished. I could hold the mount flat against the inside with my fingers and it looked ok but I haven't installed the ring yet so I'm not sure if it will be flush when its just sitting there or have a gap like what you guys are seeing.
