Danj Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Any tips, tricks, downsides to using a US made forearm (I think a FFT one comes with the Botach mesa forearm, saddle, stock package) and adding a rail with screws and epoxy. I'd like to mount a G2X. How much less robust is it than a surefire M80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'd recommend reading through this thread: http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php/31661-Benelli-M4-Weapon-light-mounting-Options-Suck! Here is what I put together. IWC makes an adapter that would allow your G2X to fit to the mount. This is a lot of work, but it is far better than the Surefire M80 rail system. It's about half a pound lighter and a lot more comfortable to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopetonBrown Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Where'd you get that front QD mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I made it out of an otherwise worthless BLAM4. I drilled out one of the alignment holes to 0.500", filled in the threaded hole with epoxy, chopped the bracket for a reduced size. Filed all the edges down to remove snag hazards. Then chopped off the opposite side sling mount. Then I sent it off with the rest of my junk to get Cerakoted black so it won't rust. The hole you see is just a portion of the QD sling mount. When the parts return, I'll install the IWC QD mount into the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm4sbs Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 speaking of which, I got a shipment notice from IWC. Not sure which parts they shipped yet though. Slow as sh&t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Agree about IWC. They're slow as ****. I noticed Brownells carries some of their products, but not everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm4sbs Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hoping it is the IWC Rotation limited QD cup. If so, will know more about the viability of it's use as a grip mounted QD on the M4. Should be here soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
