    Does it match and curve around the tube? Any idea if it will fit in the slot of the VTAC version, or if they have one coming out that will?

    I'd like to see them do a handstop/VFG that matched that curve as well. Something that starts life bigger than the KAC, Gear Sector, and other stops out there but that can be cut down by the user to tune it to the size needed.

    Yes and yes. From their website, they're offering two versions - 1.75" OD and 2" OD.

    Drop them a line regarding the handstop, they're very receptive to ideas from end users. I wouldn't be surprised to hear they already have a handstop in the works.

    hey... does anyone know about this???

    I just read this quote from "Timmy" in a thread about the VTAC rail on another site concerning QD points:

    "I wanted to mount the sling as far out as possible to take advantage of the extra leverage and recoil reduction this provides. I also wanted to keep the profile as small as possible. It just didn’t feel right to use a two or four inch section of rail to mount a sling to. So out came the chop saw and Emory cloth and presto! A rail section just enough for the QD. The 3 and 9 o’clock slits in the rail do not go to the end. Attaching the QD at the factory provided slit puts it right where I want my hand to go. So, out came the drill press and voila! I cut my own mounting point at the very end or the rail. Now I’d like to take this opportunity to mention the Troy version of the VTAC comes with predrilled QD points at the very end of the rail."

    can anyone confirm this?

    Both versions come with one section of rail that has a QD point in the end - that might be what he is referring to, but I'm not sure since he keeps calling the tube itself a "rail". If he is referring to the tube, then he is incorrect; the VTAC version does not have integral QD points in it.

    yeah, confusing. that's why I asked. after reading your comment, I think he means one of the rail sections that come with the Troy handguard has a QD point already drilled into it but the ones that come with the VTAC do not. do they?

    at first it seemed to me that he was saying the handguard itself is drilled for a QD point and this is what I was asking.

    to confirm, the Troy TRX Extreme handguard has no QD points available except on the attachable rail section, correct?

    Both the Troy and the VTAC versions have a 4" rail section with a QD point in one end. Neither version has an integral QD point in the tube itself.

    I personally prefer a higher attachment point like the LPSM over the attached rail section that comes with the tube in any case, but that is of course, personal preference.

    Is the Troy Q.D. swivel worth waiting for? I spoke with a rep at Troy who suggested that they would be available around the end of September. I had been planning on the Viking Tactics Low Profile Sling Mount. Other than the opportunity to have something that mounts on the side of the rail are there likely other advantages to the VTAC mount?

    I dont have a sling with QD hardware yet, but does anyone have experience using one of these for the VTAC handguard?

    what for? I think that's a stud for those hunting sling disconnects like the Uncle Mikes. or maybe a bipod attachment.

    I guess you could use it but I've never seen it done...
