Description
The Rise Armament M-LOK QD Sling Mount gives your rifle a clean, forward attachment point for a push-button QD sling while taking up just a single M-LOK slot. It sits flush and low against the handguard, so it stays out of the way of your support hand and leaves room for lights, lasers, or a vertical grip further down the rail. The Flat Dark Earth anodized finish matches most tan builds and Rise's own RA-905 handguard color lineup.
What Makes the RA-601 Sling Mount Tick
This one is precision machined from 6061 aluminum, so it holds up to hard use without adding meaningful weight to your setup. The socket accepts standard push-button QD swivels and includes an anti-rotation feature that keeps the swivel from spinning out on you. That means your sling hangs where you want it and stays put, whether the rifle is slung across your back or up in a ready position. The edges are chamfered and beveled to cut down on snagging, which is a nice touch when you are working in and out of a bag or brush.
Getting the QD Sling Mount on Your Rail
Installation is about as painless as it gets. It clamps directly to any M-LOK compatible handguard using the included T-nuts and screws, and Rise even tosses in the Allen wrench so you do not have to go digging for one. Most folks have it mounted in around 30 seconds with no gunsmithing required. A small dab of blue thread locker on the screws is a smart move if you plan to run it hard, though that is your call.
Built in the USA and backed by Rise Armament's lifetime warranty, the RA-601 is a straightforward, dependable way to set up your front sling point. If you are running an M-LOK rail and want a slim QD mount that does its job and disappears, this is a solid pick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the RA-601 sling mount fit any M-LOK handguard?
Yes, it mounts to any M-LOK compatible handguard or forend and only takes up a single slot. Rise designed it around their own RA-902 and RA-905 rails, but the M-LOK standard means it works across the board. As long as you have an open M-LOK slot, you are good to go.
Does the QD sling mount come with a swivel?
No, the mount itself does not include a QD swivel. It accepts any standard push-button QD swivel, so you can pair it with whatever sling setup you already run. If you do not have one, you will want to grab a push-button QD swivel separately.
How hard is it to install the Rise Armament sling mount?
It is about as easy as parts installation gets. The mount clamps on with the included T-nuts and screws using the provided Allen wrench, and most people have it on in around 30 seconds with no gunsmithing. A drop of blue thread locker on the screws is a good idea if you want it to stay locked down long term.
Will the swivel spin around once it is installed?
No, the mount has a built-in anti-rotation feature that keeps the swivel from spinning out. That keeps your sling oriented the way you want and cuts down on the flip-and-twist that some sockets allow. It is one of the details that makes this mount feel dialed in.
