Review: IWC QD MICRO MOUNT-N-SLOT as installed into a MOE I've been following the development of IWC's latest limited rotation QD mount for several months now, and when Earl at IWC offered me the chance to test and evaluate it in one of my midlength MOE handguards I jumped at the chance. (My Momma didn't raise no fools.).

Intro to MOUNT-N-SLOT
MOUNT-N-SLOT is a part of Impact Weapons Components (IWC) making drop in attachments for Magpul MOE, VTAC/JP Inc. and some other handguard systems. They are design to offer a more slipstreamed mounting option for lights, slings and similar attachments for AR15 and similar rifles. They caught my eye over on M4carbine.net as a few members posted T&E products before they were out yet...looked like the best thing for mounting stuff to MOE handguards so I had to give them a try...
First Impressions
I ordered direct from IWC's store, the unit price was $32.95. Checkout was easy enough, they use a Yahoo store and you can checkout with Google checkout and a few other similar options for those who do that...certainly a convenience for some including myself. About a week after ordering (only 3-4 business days) I did get an email saying the parts were backordered but should be shipping out very soon. Not a huge deal, I don't mind a wait. I placed the order LATE Thursday Jan 27th, received the order in the mail today (Feb 12th). So about two weeks total, plus shipping typically takes 4-5 business days. Anyways, package came today shipped in a USPS small flat rate box. Inside were two smaller boxes (I ordered two things). Here is how it is packaged (with AA battery for size comparison):
Opened up (notice installation directions):
Sling mount itself:
Back of package/mount, notice installation tool and where it was made (no Chinese crap here):
Also inside the package was an invoice, which had a hand written note from Earl, the 'guy in charge':
If you can't read that, I was refunded the shipping charges because they went out late. Completely unnecessary however still a great gesture. What a great way to start things off...it seems as if these guys really care about the customer.
The mount, all by it's lonesome:
Installation
Installation was stupid easy. Put the mount over the slot in the handguards where you want it to be, then install the two supplied bolts. That's it...you're done. If you can't do it you probably should be living in a padded room.
Here it is once installed:
