NEW!! Impact Weapons Components QD Sling Attachment For KeyMod Rails

Posted on May 9th, 2013 by ar15news

So far, Handguards with the KeyMod attachment system have really caught on and tons of people have been buying them such as the Noveske NSR, Fortis REV, Seekins MCSR, etc.   The only issue is that there is still very few accessory mounts for them.  Most of what you can find are just small 1913 picatinny sections which doesn’t really make sense since that is what KeyMod is supposed to eliminate.  Finally, one of my favorite manufacturers, Impact Weapons Components has stepped in to fill the void.  Their first offering is the IWC KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount.  This is an extremely low profile, lightweight, rotation limited QD sling mount.  I know you’re thinking “Well, most rails already come with a sling mount”.  While some do, the most popular KeyMod rail is the Noveske NSR which does not feature a built in QD mount.  Even on ones that do have built in mounts you still may want to adjust where on the rail your sling attaches and this allows you to do that.  As with all IWC components, the KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount is made from start to finish in Timnath, Co and comes with a 100% LIFETIME WARRANTY.  You can simply return it anytime for a full refund including your shipping charges….but you won’t want to do that.  Just a way to know you can buy from them with confidence.  The IWC KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount is just $17 but you can save an additional 5% with the discount code “AR15NEWS”.  Purchase the KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.

Magpul MOE Handguard Bipod Mount for just $16

Posted on April 10th, 2013 by ar15news

If you are like myself or many other AR owners that have built a nice lightweight AR with a Magpul MOE Handguard on it you’re no doubt familiar with Impact Weapons Components and their line of Mount-N-Slot components.  IWC is the premier manufacturer of light mounts, sling attachments, hand stops, etc. designed to work with the MOE Handguard.  One thing that’s been kind of lacking is the ability to efficiently attach a bipod to the MOE handguard.  With bipods you have two options.  Either mount it to a 1913 picatinny rail or to a sling swivel stud.  Instead of buying an adapter for your bipod to mount to a picatinny rail and then buying a small rail section for your MOE handguard you can just buy the new IWC Bipod V2 Mount-N-Slot.  This mount will work with any bipod that mounts to a standard sling swivel stud and as shown in the pics below it allows the bipod to rest against the MOE to give it better stability and strength.  Its a nice low profile design but it also is much more affordable at just $15.95.  Don’t forget to use “AR15NEWS” at checkout to save 5% off of this and the rest of the awesome products IWC makes or carries.  Get  yours at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.

BIPOD-V2 MOUNT-N-SLOT – Made by Impact Weapons Components in Colorado:

NEW IMPROVED BIPOD MOUNT-N-SLOT:

WEIGHT REDUCED BY 0.6 OUNCES, TO 1.23 OUNCES TOTAL WEIGHT

HEIGHT REDUCED BY 30%

INCREASED STABILITY AND LOWER PROFILE IMPROVES ACCURACY The higher the bipod is relative to the bore, the more stable the rifle will be on top of it because for the same height off the ground the bipod legs will be wider. Swivel-style bipods should be mounted as “high” as possible so that their swivel axis is as close to the bore axis as possible, which reduces sight/barrel movement for the same amount of rotational correction for leveling.

100% LIFETIME WARRANTY. PERIOD. Return for full refund including your shipping charges

DIRECT attach design eliminates the need for 2 separate mounts; 1- A bipod mount and 2 – A Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

SPEND LESS MONEY: Compare to $50.00 or more for a Bipod Mount + a Rail Section + Shipping Charges

Accepts any bipod which attaches to a standard sling swivel stud

Ergonomic, DIRECT attach design eliminates all sharp edges which can ensnarl the operators gear

Attach BIPOD-V2 MOUNT-N-SLOT once and leave it on; BIPOD-V2 is the same height as a Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

47% lower profile than a separate Bipod Mount and Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section

3 or more parts are eliminated from your firearm, based on our competitions mounts used

Micro-Adjustable mounting allows the operator to mount anywhere through any slot or combination of slots on the firearm hand guard

SNEAK PEEK!! Fortis Manufacturing Mount for Aimpoint Micro

Posted on April 8th, 2013 by ar15news

One of my favorite new manufacturers to come to the AR15 market over the past few years is Fortis Manufacturing.  They have quickly become known for innovative, high quality and awesome looking parts quicker than I really remember anyone doing that.  The moment you get your hands on any of their parts you can feel that its not some cheap piece of junk.  My first experience with Fortis was when they released their RAP (Rail Attachment Point) and the MPSA (Multi Point Sling Attachment) End Plate.  I liked them enough that I put them on all of  my guns right away.  But when they came out with their Fortis REV rail they really made their mark and let everyone know they were the real deal. Just a few months later and they are now introducing another game changer.  The Fortis T-1 Mount for Aimpoint Micro red dots.  I’ve only had mine for a few weeks but I can tell you I like it a lot.  Check out the pictures and details below.

You really only have one chance to make a first impression and with the Fortis T-1 Mount its a good one.  Humans are visual creatures so we want our things to look nice or cool.  If you’re an owner of the Fortis REV rail you’ll notice that the cutouts on the mount are the same angle as the cutouts on the rail which ties it in even better.  The best part is that while looking cool its also saving a lot of weight.  Weighing in at just over 1 ounce you’ll definitely be saving some weight over your standard T-1 mount.

The Fortis T-1 mount is also very low profile which you can see by the picture below.  No large levers or sharp edges to get caught up on anything.  Just low profile, light weight awesomeness.

Another feature that I really like about the Fortis T-1 mount is that the clamping mechanism uses the entire side of the mount instead of one or two small little nubs to hold onto the rail.  By doing this it creates an even clamp and allows you to remove the red dot and re-mount it with little to no loss of zero.  Big plus if you ask me.  If you look at the second photo below you’ll also see that the screws are contained instead of open making it so the screws do not scratch the heck out of your upper receiver rail.  Not that I don’t intend to get scratches on the gun but I hate when I mount a light or sights and they leave gouges in the metal.  Just my $.02

Overall, I can say this thing is going to be a huge hit.  With the weight savings I was worried that it would feel kind of cheap or weak but that is totally not the case as I should have expected from Fortis Mfg.  It mounts up rock solid and looks absolutely awesome.  I spoke with one of the owners today and it looks like they will be releasing it for purchase any day now.  The mounts are ready to go, they are just finishing up the package/labels right now.  My guess is to keep an eye on FortisMfg.com and RainierArms.com as they will be the first places to have these.  With a retail price of just $89.95 its hard to go wrong.

If you really want to be in the know, keep an eye on the Fortis Manufacturing Facebook Page and the Rainier Arms Facebook Page.
