For those who've been down this road before, is there a preferred QD adapter to mount on the basic MOE stock?

Solid kit.

I'm guessing creating an account necessary to buy from here? There doesn't seem to be any way to make a purchase as is.

They seem to be out of stock everywhere recently, like a lot of IWC components.

My understanding is the owner passed away and that caused a bunch of issues.

I could have sworn that Mountsplus was OOS too. Nice find.

And thanks for the input on IWC, I'd heard rumors but nothing concrete.

That explains that, hard to believe nobody else is producing these adapters considering how popular the MOE stock is.

They are OOS as well, their website shows in stock but when you try to check out you can't finish the purchase.  They aren't answering any emails either so they are likely defunct as well.  Unfortunately, that leaves no one left to sell them.

If you're open to other QD hardware, just using a loop of 550 through the stock and a paraclip or HK clip on the sling is my go to.

I try not to crap on push button QD, but it seems like you're at the end of the road.  Either something like that, or just pick up a CTR.

Earl passed away back in the beginning of 2023.  Hopefully, his family starts the business back up or maybe sell the designs to a company like FCD.

I used the link posted earlier in the thread to order one yesterday (8/06) and got shipping confirmation/tracking info this morning (tracking number shows package has indeed been tendered to USPS). Dunno if I got the last one...or got scammed.

The IWC/MSP mount showed up today...I guess I got the last one in existence.

I'll try them again, maybe their website was having issues although I still haven't received a response to my email to them.  Either way, congrats on what may be the last Tasmanian Tiger.

Owner did pass away in Feb 2023 but the manufacturing company that has product IWC products for over 17 years purchased IWC. We have been filling orders since January 19th.

Just what I was looking for. I want to remove the sling for storage/transport, but the rear of the sling has been looped through the stock so that wasn't possible.

This is what i did and its amazing! Feels much more secure than any similar options that are more expensive.

Removed the buttstock pad.

Set the nuts on the interior of the top rear oval hole.

Unnecessary, but mitigation step; used tiny regular washers in between the nut and plastic to not strip through the holes when screws were tightened.

Installed MLOK on exterior.

Tightened screws.

Reinstalled the buttstock pad.





Done.

That is what I have done with all my MOE stocks.  Works great. I went to my local
ACE hardware store and found the right size/length cap bolts stuck them on.
