Mounting to a LW (plastic upper) or normal (metal upper) model?  I suspect the answers are "none" and "any" respectively, but I have no personal experience.  My -522 runs in -5 configuration.

I think it is a plastic covered metal. It is a 2013 vintage.

Sounds like the lightweight, even in 2014 AFAIK there are both options.  Many dealers carry only the $100 cheaper LW versions in my experience.  From what I've heard here the plastic lightweight receiver upper flexes a lot - thus my comment on nothing working well, but I have no personal experience so maybe someone else will chime in.

I decided to order the HK claw mount for $99. I guess we will see. I'll post back when I get it.

Thanks.

Got it, it's junk. I ordered one of every kind off of amazon. Surely one will work.

Real HK claw mounts are what $200-300?  With the plastic upper, I'm not sure even they would give you a solid mount - I truly think the lightweight is at most useful for stock-style iron sights...

If its the model before the H&K lawsuit, Try here, he sell a lot of H&K style low profile scope mounts.  "Claw mount"  

I have one on my PK and would share a pic but don't see where I can up load a picture.
