I'm wondering what SD's experience has been with these.  Is there some fitment wizzardry to this part?

For those that have been successful, are you installing the parts and letting the torque from the bolts pull the QD into the slot?

Or, do the parts fit and clear the slot as one would hope?  It seems like the BFG Uloop would be a great alternative.

The worst one I’ve encountered just needed a whack with a small brass hammer to get the screw to pass thru the sling loop.

There may be tighter ones out there?

Mine was a perfect fit. No forcing needed. 11715 model.

Good to know about the screws.  I'm more curious how the recessed part of the QD fits.  Does it insert fully/flush into the slot?

I was under the impression that this was the piece that's giving everyone fitment issues.

I'm just looking at pictures and thinking about how it fits.  So my apologies if I'm talking out of my behind.

I assumed it was the screws. The recessed part does not fully insert into my stock. It's fully secure though and sits flush with the cheek rest. I could possibly fully insert if it was more in the middle? Not sure.. I got it in place and it works so don't want to mess with it haha. I just copied SD's set up and put the QD mount high on the stock.

That lip that you have circled in red is all that goes into the stock. You really don't need to tap the screws in, the tolerance is so close that they will begin to screw into the stock. Insert them into the backing plate, place the plate on the opposite side of the stock and begin screwing them in till you feel them begin to protude. Position the qd so that one hole aligns up with a screw, tighten a couple turns then align the second hole with the other screw and tighten a couple turns. Alternate tightening each screw so that the qd is pulled evenly till tight.

Mine needed a bit of persuasion. I believe I had to file it a bit. Installed on  newer m1014 “blue receiver” m4

If one files the sling mount, it WILL seat properly and WONT gouge the stock body.

If you don’t care about gouges or plan on never removing the mount, it’s a non issue.

I take it you filed the edges/lip area where the screw holes are?  It doesn't look like there's a lot of material there.  One must have to file a small amount off each side or I think you'd be into the threads.

Correct, it’s been a while since I did it. But I didn’t take much material off. Maybe 0.030 or so. Basically just removed the hard coat anodizing
