    Ok. I never have seen any QD hardware in person, I did not know if that hole was sized correctly for it. Thank you.

    I have a JP VTAC tube on another rifle and it came with 2 of those sling mounts. I had to use the backer from the TRX tube but the stud screwed right in. I used a flat washer that fits the hole to keep it from falling through.

    This works good enough for a bi-pod mount but I wouldn't trust it for a sling, can't really say why but I prefer the VTAC sling mount that attaches to the top of the rail.

    I guess you could use it but I've never seen it done...
    Remember those sling swivels are also used on nearly every bolt action sniper rifle around too. Given a flat washer heavy enough and the backer left long enough, the "hunter" swivels are plenty sturdy.

    But as I said I prefer the QD mount from VTAC.

    The JP-VTAC and the VTAC Extreme are different products. The JP-VTAC is set up for the the sling swivel attachment point - the Extreme is not.

It's very nicely made and finished, and quite a bit smaller than I expected it to be:





    I'm amazed at how quickly IWC has been developing and bringing accessories to market!
    Thanks for the heads-up / post. Ordered mine from IWC this week.

    I liked the older VTAC on my old setup...comfortable and well made.

    Sorry for the side note, but I really do dislike the look of the Magpul RVG's.

    Dislike the way they look because you think they will somehow be less functional or dislike the way they look because you find them aesthetically displeasing?

    It is a pure aesthetic thing. I know taste is subjective but for me they look large and block like or rather clunky looking. On the RVG I also do not like the looks of the double screws/hex heads either. The MVG is nicer in this area due to the attachment difference, but they just don't do it for me.

    As for function I am sure they work, but my stubbies were pretty much just finger stops and I know you can cut down the RVG, but they just aren't my thing. They look like an afterthought and a growth on the rifle. Just not sexy.

    And yes I know sexy has nothing to do with function.

    to my eyes it appears the RVG and MVG have the same profile except for the taller part for the rail attachment and the screws. is this the part you don't like?
    never push a wrench...
