Have 3 of these now and I love ‘em. Replaced 3 of my SL-Ks. Thank you Magpul for making them fit tighter! The SL-Ks are a wobbly noisy mess on pretty much every tube made. You even shaved some weight off with these. Home run! |

I purchased one too for my UCIW tube. Fits great. One question. I also purchased the Magpul m-lok QD adapter. Unless I’m missing something obvious, the bolts are way too short. I find it hard to believe two Magpul OEM products are this incompatible. Has anyone else had this problem attempting to add QD to the m-lok slot on their stock? @WH_Magpul EDIT - Simple fix below. Nothing wrong with the Magpul products. |

Polymer Mlok needs to be a lot thicker. Im betting magpuls QD sling mounts are made.for aluminum mlok in mind. Iirc the thread pitch is 10-24 |

I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to hold the T-Nus while I tightened the screws. Attached File Attached File |

I didn't even think of that. I knew it had to be something obvious. I will check and report back.  EDIT - This worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip! Everything works great now. |

Just tried mine on a uciw tube, stock doesn’t lock on the forward most position, does yours? My stock is hitting the castle nut before it locks into position, castle nut needs to go like one thread forward for stock to lock. I’m using standard end plate and castle nut, maybe the lwrc ones are thinner? |

How did it end up looking? Edit: just took a file to front of my stock and got it to lock up on most forward position, didn’t have to take much off and plastic still looks clean |
