Here are some pics of the Troy Industries low profile QD sling mount. I don't know that I'd call it low profile but it takes up very little rail space and it's solid.

Deaj: I think you've just given me a glimpse of my new sling mount. Thanks for taking the time to get those pics up.
Not taking up a lot of space is very cool.
You're welcome!
Couple more pics with bipod and 1-4x scope...

To date I've added a bunch of upgrades and accessories to my very recently purchased M&P15T:
* Condor Tactical 36" rifle bag
* Magpul 20 & 30 rd. magazines
* Magpul CTR stock
* Magpul XTM rail covers
* Ergo ladder type rail protectors
* Hogue ergonomic grip
* CAA BVG vertical grip
* Troy Industries low profile QD front sling mount
* Blackhawk V-TAC two point w/QD swivels
* Harris lightweight swivel bipod & GG&G rail mount adapter
* Streamlight PolyTac tactical light and offset rail mount
* Primary Arms M4 red dot sight & rail mount
* Primary Arms 1-4X illuminated scope & rail mount
* #7 O-rinng around upper receiver hinge post to tighten upper / lower fit
* GI type cleaning kit
* Laser bore sight
I ordered a few new upgrades this weekend:
* KNS .034 round ultra fine front siight post
* Spike's Tactical ST-T2 heavy buffer
* BCM / VLTOR Gunfighter Mod 4 charging handle
* Tango Down PR-4 buffer tube mounted QD sling mount
* Magpul aluminum Enhanced Trigger Guard
The Standard AR front sight post is sufficient for battle use but provides a less than ideal sight picture. I find I'm getting on target more quickly and reacquiring targets more quickly with this new front post. Long range accuracy with with BUIS has improved as well. $6 improvement - sweet!
The Spike's buffer is filled with high density tungsten powder rather than sliding weights. Aside from quieter operation users have noted smoother cycling and less felt recoil. At $30 it seemed like a no brainer.
The Gunfighter charging handle wasn't a must-have but reliable one handed operation without having to move off target seemed like a worthwhile upgrade. The latch has been enlarged and reinforced and the charging handle is stronger as well.
I wanted to add a QD sling mount near the back of the receiver where the buffer tube castle nut is located. The Tango Down by all reports is rock solid, lightweight, and provides, left, right, & back QD sockets.
I had always intended to install a Magpul enhanced trigger guard - just hadn't gotten around to it until today. Works as intended providing trigger access to a gloved shooting hand. Looks good too!
The only thing left to mess with is the trigger. I've corresponded with Bill Springfield about purchasing a worked 4# trigger group from him and I may do this down the road a ways. The stock trigger in my M&P, while heavier, is so good (no creep, crisp and consistent break) that I've no desire to mess with it - even for a lighter trigger.
I need to stop buying parts and start buying target ammo.
It's perhaps a little over the top for a target / plinking gun but it's definitely enjoyable to shoot! Here are some new pics:

Here's a couple of pictures with a new Primary Arms 4.5-14X illuminated mil dot scope (picture quality is, well, not quality - it's an old 2.1MP Canon point-n-shoot):
No trigger time with this scope yet but initial impression is very positive. Sight picture in low light conditions seems clear and bright. I should have some time next weekend to zero this scope and do some shooting at 200 yards (longest distance at my local range).
Deaj - Thanks for the pics - I think you've helped me feel confident that i made the right choice in purchasing a PR4 rear sling mount and helped me find a new case for my M4.
One question - do those Magpul XTM covers rattle or have any play in them? I am thinking of purchasing them to help cover my rails.

Deaj, Nice Rig! You are gonna love the Condor Case, I have had one now for about a year and a half and it is a great piece of kit. A Friend of mine at the Dept. has been talking to me about getting himself on of the M&P 15T's like yours and I am going to show him your post, and I am sure he will be impressed. Great job with the photos too by the way.
Just picked up my 15T today from Buds. At first glance, the fit and finish is exceptional and upper and lower is extremely tight. I had to really tap the pin hard to get them to break free. The Troy rail is super solid with no play as to I heard some earlier models indeed moved. This is my first M&P and so far I like it. Hopefully I will get some time during the holiday break to shoot her. Also, not a bad gig for the free 5 PMAGS also.
Question, I had to wait on this one due to it being what my guy called a "LE" model. He claims that Smith uses LMT bolts in them. Has anyone ever heard that before? Also, what kind of buffer tube is on it. Milspec or commercial? Wanting to purchase a CTR.
Thanks guys! Ky Cop
