bigoo7e Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) As the title says... I have the IW mount installed on my M4 and I was curious if I bought the 8-1/2" Truckee mount would they be able to work together with no issues and/or modifications needed for either? Thanks for everyone's time and info./input in advance, peace.

StrangerDanger Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Both would likely fit, I'm just not sure how a light would work out if you installed it on the IWC mount. The tailcap may interfere with the Truckee rail. If you're not opposed to modifying the rail, you could probably make it work if there was some interference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @StrangerDanger, Yeah I bought the IW mount mainly for the sling swivels. But I did get the version with the 1913 rail piece, installing that on the side of the IW mount may not work with the Mesa forend. I am interesting in trying it out and reporting back my findings to the forum members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigoo7e Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 As some of the members on here suggested in another thread, I ordered one of these direct from Mesa today. It should hopefully be here next week. Once I get it installed I will take pictures and report back my findings. Thanks again @StrangerDanger and @CAUS for the input and suggestions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigoo7e Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Well guys and gals, it looks like it’s going to work. I got the Truckee installed today, but I couldn’t find my Streamlight ProTac HL-X. It looks like it should clear it with the scout mounting. But I’ll report back with pictures of that, worst case I’ll have to install the 1913 pic rail I’ve got with my IW mount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Try to even out the gap between the side of the IWC mount. It looks like one side bolt was tightened fully. You want it to have a similar sized gap on both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had star bits and not the correct hex bits. I almost tightened it down with the wrong bit and would have more than likely stripped it out and/or damaged the screw. ?

Doge Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 That is like a perfect fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Have you tried the light on it yet? I’m concerned a Scout light’s Z68 tailcap would make contact with the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my Streamlight ProTac HL-X installed on my Ruger PCC at the moment, so I'll swap it over when I get off of work this morning if I've got the time.

bigoo7e Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) The moment of truth has arrived… my Streamlight ProTac HL-X fits like a glove on the IW mount and works well with the Truckee! The light’s tail cap knurling rubs just slightly on the Truckee, but you can still take the tail cap off of the light when it’s mounted.
