Description
Adding a QD sling point to your M-LOK handguard shouldn't mean bolting on a chunk of hardware that snags on everything. The Fortis QD Sling Mount in Olive Drab Green keeps things low-profile and light, giving you a clean spot for a quick detach swivel without cluttering up your rail. It's a small part, but it's the kind of thing you notice every time you sling up.
What Makes the Fortis QD Sling Mount Tick
The mount is machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a Type III hard coat anodize, so it shrugs off the wear, moisture, and grime that come with regular range time and field use. It tips the scale at just 0.38 oz including the screws and boot, which means it disappears into your build without throwing off the balance of a carbine. The Olive Drab Green anodize is a nice touch if you're running a green or earth-tone setup and want the little details to match.
Dialing In the Right Position
The 8-position non-rotational locking interface is the real workhorse here. You pick one of eight orientations when you mount it, snug it down, and it stays put. No creeping, no rotating under the weight of a slung rifle when you're on the move. Once you find the angle that feels right for your carry style, a dab of thread locker is never a bad idea to keep it locked in for good.
Sling Compatibility and Fitment
It accepts standard quick detach sling swivels, so it plays nicely with popular tactical slings from the usual names like Blue Force Gear, Magpul, and Vickers. The mount ships with 1/4-inch set screws, which cover most aluminum M-LOK handguards in the 0.080-inch to 0.125-inch thickness range per Magpul's spec. Running a thicker polymer or Sig handguard? You'll want to grab the longer 3/8-inch set screws to get a proper bite. Bottom line, this is a no-nonsense attachment point that does one job and does it well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Fortis QD Sling Mount fit any M-LOK handguard?
It's built to fit any M-LOK compatible handguard or rail section, which covers the vast majority of modern AR-15 and AR-10 platforms. You just secure it to any open M-LOK slot using the included hardware. The 1/4-inch set screws it ships with fit aluminum handguards in the 0.080-inch to 0.125-inch thickness range.
What kind of sling swivels does this mount accept?
It accepts standard quick detach (QD) sling swivels, which are the most common style on modern tactical slings. That means it works with slings from brands like Blue Force Gear, Magpul, and Vickers, along with most others that use a standard QD stud. Just click your swivel in and you're good to go.
Does the non-rotational interface keep the sling mount from shifting?
Yes. The 8-position non-rotational locking interface lets you set the mount in one of eight orientations, and once it's torqued down it won't rotate or creep, even under the weight of a slung rifle on the move. A drop of thread locker is a good insurance policy once you've picked your position.
I'm running a polymer or Sig handguard. Do the included screws work?
The mount comes with 1/4-inch set screws that are sized for standard aluminum M-LOK handguards. If you're mounting to a thicker polymer or Sig handguard, you'll want to swap in the longer 3/8-inch set screws available directly from Fortis to get a secure bite.
