Description
The SI LINK Angled QD Mount from Strike Industries takes a simple job, giving your rifle a solid quick-detach sling point, and does it a smarter way. Instead of driving the QD socket straight down 90 degrees into the rail, this mount kicks the socket out at 30 degrees. That angle keeps the sling swivel from catching on your support hand, other accessories, or your gear when you sling the rifle across your back. It's a small tweak that makes a real difference once you've got a busy handguard.
What Sets the LINK Angled QD Mount Apart
Strike's LINK system is the real trick here. This one mount installs on both M-LOK and KeyMod rails, so you're not stuck sorting through separate part numbers depending on which handguard you're running. It uses a push-and-pull motion alongside the rail rather than fighting a socket in flat, and there's anti-rotation built into the design so it stays put once it's tightened down. On M-LOK it eats a single slot, and on KeyMod it takes three, so it stays out of the way of your other gear.
Built Light and Snag-Free
The body is machined from aircraft grade 6061 aluminum with a hardcoat anodized finish, and this one comes in a red that adds a little pop to a black rifle build. It tips the scale at roughly a third of an ounce, so it's not adding any noticeable weight. The low-profile, swept-back shape is the whole point, since a sling mount that snags can turn a smooth movement into a fumbled one.
Installation is straightforward with the included hardware. Strike recommends not exceeding 20 in/lbs of torque on the LINK screw, and it's worth using the thread locker that comes in the box and checking the fastener now and then as part of your normal maintenance. It's a clean, practical upgrade for anyone running a two-point or single-point sling who wants their attachment point working with them, not against them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the LINK Angled QD Mount work with both M-LOK and KeyMod?
Yes, that's the whole appeal of Strike's LINK system. The same mount installs on either M-LOK or KeyMod handguards, so you don't need to track down a different part depending on your rail. On M-LOK it uses one slot, and on KeyMod it takes three.
Why is the QD socket angled at 30 degrees instead of straight?
The 30-degree angle keeps the sling swivel from sticking straight out where it can catch on your support hand, gear, or other accessories. It sweeps the sling back along the rail for a cleaner, snag-free setup. When the rifle is slung, that angle keeps everything tucked in and out of the way.
What sling swivels fit the LINK Angled QD Mount?
It uses a standard push-button QD socket, so any common quick-detach sling swivel will lock right in. That covers the vast majority of two-point and single-point QD slings on the market. You just push the swivel in until it clicks and press the button to release.
Is installation difficult and what tools do I need?
Installation is simple with the included T-nut, Allen screw, and thread locker. Strike recommends not exceeding 20 in/lbs of torque on the LINK screw, so a torque driver is handy but not required. It's a good idea to use the included thread locker and check the fastener occasionally as part of normal maintenance.
