N Slot Sling Mount

/ Comments off

Well, I hope all you crazy AR-15 owners had a Safe and Happy 4th of July! I wanted to tell you all about a pretty cool new product for all of the Magpul fans. Many of you have probably at some point looked into buying the Magpul M.O.E. buttstock for your rifle but may have decided against it as it lacks some of the features that the higher level stocks have like a QD Sling Attachment.

Impact Weapon Components (IWC) has built their business on being able to see these deficiencies and creating an innovative and inexpensive solution to the problem. They have just added to their MOUNT-N-SLOT lineup a QD Sling Attachment designed especially for the Magpul M.O.E. AR-15 buttstock. It fits neatly towards the rear of the buttstock in one of the webbing slots. This is definitely worth checking out if you are wishing you had a QD attachment point on your Magpul M.O.E. stock or are considering it as your next upgrade. Check out what IWC has to say about their product and some pictures below!

The OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot is a very slick addition to the Mount-N-Slot line. It is snag-free, efficient, and it just works. Who would have thought that the addition of a simple angle could make such a difference. The OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot is available for the Magpul MOE Hand Guards, Bushmaster ACR, and slotted free float tubes with an. The QD mount features easy installation using the supplied Hex Key and 2-10/32 x 1' SOC head fasteners. CNC Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a hard anodized Type III matte finish.

Many manufacturers are including the M.O.E. line of components as standard equipment on their AR platform rifles, including, S&W M&P, Bushmaster M.O.E. and Noveske’s 14.5″ SKINNY CARBINE.

Previously, customers and LE Departments who purchase these rifles are not able to attach the popular Push Button Quick Detach Sling Swivels to their rifles because the M.O.E. Buttstock does not include a built-in QD Socket. If they wanted a QD Socket, they needed to purchase a separate Rear Receiver or Buffer Tube installed QD adaptor, or, replace the M.O.E. Buttstock entirely with another buttstock, say a CTR by Magpul.

So IWC designed our PATENT PENDING QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT for Buttstocks to be a user-installed, cost effective solution to this problem. Compare these alternative solutions to IWC’s QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT for Buttstocks.

PATENT PENDING

This will be the first of two posts about some of the newest Mount-N-Slots from Impact Weapon Components – the OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot and the Weapon Control Mount-N-Slot. Today, I’ll be writing about the OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot.

The Mount-N-Slot experience starts with the innovative packaging. The OCP is on the right.

Fit and Finish

The OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot is as well finished as every other Mount-N-Slot that has passed through my hands. The machining is flawless, even on the back of the mount where no one will see it. The hard anodized finished is evenly applied and looks great. You won’t find a sharp edge anywhere because great care has been taken to radius the corners. The quality shows when you look at the details.

The OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot is angled to increase functionality.

Similar…

The OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot looks and feels like an evolution of the Snap Hook Mount-N-Slot. Both mounts work very well with HK style snap hooks and, my preference, the ITW Mash Hook. So, while they are somewhat similar, they each have some unique features.

But Different

First, the OCP mounts differently. It mounts via single screw and threaded plate while the Snap Hook Mount-N-Slot uses two screws. The OCP also has two tabs that fit tightly into the slot to prevent it from rotating.

Second, the OCP is angled so that it is higher on the loop side and lower on the non loop side. This angle is what makes the OCP unique. The angle presents the loop in such a way that makes it easier to attach the sling. This works well with slings like theMagpul MS2 and the Emdom Gunslinger that offer the ability to quickly transition from single point to two point configuration. The OCP helps you leverage all of that functionality as efficiently as possible. The angle also makes the front of the mount more snag-free.

The OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot works perfectly with the excellent ITW Mash Hooks.

How to Choose

N Slot Sling Mount

So how do you decide between the Snap Hook Mount-N-Slot or the OCP Mount-N-Slot? It basically comes down to mounting options. The Snap Hook Mount-N-Slot can be oriented so that the loop faces in up, down, forward, and back. The OCP can only be mounted so that it faces forward or back. So, if you need more mounting options the Snap Hook Mount-N-Slot is for you. If you need the lowest profile option, you need the OCP Sling Mount-N-Slot.
