Damage Industries Multi Mount Sling Mount

Sorry for posting three days late. I fully intended to get back to you on the fourteenth, but came down with a lovely case of food poisoning. So here I am! Back, sore, and eager to bet back on the ball with this young blog.

This was really the second step on my path to building my rifle. I got them as part of one of their weekly deals. This particular deal (one of my favorites), was a "we'll double whatever quantity you order for free*." They offer two quick detach (QD) slots and one loop for a snap hook, Mash hook or cordage (the website says paracord), as well as leaving enough clearance to simply loop a strand of nylon webbing through once mounted on a Picatinny (Mil-Std-1913/STANAG 2324) rail.

The Damage Industries LLC Milti Mount Sling Mount comes
in Flat Dark Earth, Hard Brown, and Black (pictured).
The method for mounting them is rudimentary, requiring the complete removal of the hex key (1/8") before sliding it onto the rail from the very end (which shouldn't be an issue, because there's only really one place with Picatinny rails that you should really be thinking about mounting a sling: as far forward as you can get it).

With the considerable protrusion these accessories , I would be willing to speculate that these could be used as a hand stop in a pinch, albeit with a degree of discomfort, and I definitely would not recommend it as a substitute.

As I mentioned earlier, these will mount to any standard Picatinny rail, so don't be shy about mounting to anything with that style of accessory mounting system, be it AK, M14, Mini-14, 10/22, bolt action rifle, shotgun, whatever. These are made from billet aliminum, and are finished with a "Mil-A-8625 type III class 2 hardcoat anodize" (sic), so I wouldn't worry too much about beating them up. Also, the finish has a bit of a rough texture to it, so I believe that they will take an aftermarket coating (Duracoat, Ceracoat, or even spray paint) rather well, even without prep. For fifteen bucks, I can;t say this was a bad purchase.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll see you again in a few days with more on parts I have acquired for my build. Thanks for reading. Please leave a comment (keep it clean, and I'll pass it through).
