Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By USGILT: Kalmar, Is that a LT-745 mount on the Scar17? 10 or 20 MOA model?  Yes Sir, it is. 10 MOA version... I know my charging handle will always be mounted on the left, and I prefer the design and aesthetics of the cantilever mount. Otherwise I'd recommend going with the LT111 to give you the option of reversing the throw levers if need be. Either way Larue makes great stuff. I've been very satisfied with all of their products.

Wayne, awesome setup! I used the same configuration a while back and the HSP mount couldn't work any better with the VLTOR rail interface. I'd really like to see more mount-n-slot accessories from IWC in the future.

My last 2 purchases. Sig 229 40 Cal Scorpion and SCAR 16S. Form 1 is in the works for the SCAR, making an SBR with 10" barrel! Can is a AAC 762-SDN-6. Taking both to range this weekend.
Its like a great holiday when you see a box at your door after work! 
I just so happened to pick up the perfect firearm for my new friends! 
Since I love pics and can't get to the range till tomorrow

Well done!!! I didn't care much for the VLTOR, but after checking it out on your CQC I'm tempted to put one on my Heavy to get a little extra real-estate.

the rail is only 2.5oz heavier than the OEM bottom rail and TD side rails which isn't bad considering the additional 2" of real estate that is gained Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By buddyhoohaw:

Could have sworn the VLTOR rail was lighter than the stock bottom metal and side rails, and I wouldn't have believed otherwise had you not weighed them. I'm guessing it's the wider profile and slick sides as you noted that gave me that false impression. Either way, the VLTOR feels comfortable and well balanced in comparison. Please stop giving me ideas that involve spending ludicrous amounts of money. Those are simply too badass. |

Its a Trijicon SRS, I really like it. Its my favorite non magnified red dot. I like it better than my eotec's and it just edges out my T1 only because of field of view. The SRS is big enough that you can see the dot pretty much no matter how the gun is canted. It works really well from weird shooting positions like under barricades and positions where you don't have a standard shoulder and or cheek weld. Sometimes its hard to see the dot on the micro from those positions but I can pick up the SRS dot pretty much from anywhere. When weight is an issue ill still go with th T1 though. I'll probably put the T1 on my SCAR 16 SBR when the paperwork come back and leave the SRS on the 17 SBR. I need to get a QD mount for it though to get rid of those knuckle buster knobs, Im a lefty and they get in the way. |

Buddy, do you think there will be the possibility of scratching with the set screws for the rail against the upper receiver? I recall seeing something on the fnforum (Which I'm sure I've seen you on there too) regarding a guy who took his rail off to find minor scratches, which is probably the only reason I think I was turned off by it. I do put my rifles through their paces, but can't see why scratches that could otherwise be prevented can be justified to me. (if that makes sense)

I do put my rifles through their paces, but can't see why scratches that could otherwise be prevented can be justified to me. (if that makes sense) I did not consider that the screws will make contact with the upper receiver and saw no indication during installation. I did have the opportunity to run a few mags through it yesterday and I really like the rail; I just need to figure out a way to get a sling mount on the aft portion of the rail. Oddly enough, the early photos of the CASV illustrate QD holes in the aft and mid sections of rail and production rail only has front QD. I was hoping to just drill a QD hole however there isn't enough material on the rail. Cheers |

The product photos for the CASV are pretty deceptive, as Buddy noted they do show the rail featuring an aft QD point. I'm not sure when or why this was changed in production models, but retailers should definitely make sure what they are marketing is exactly what they're selling.
As far as making your own attachment point, I think something like this is going to be your best bet. Should be easily mountable to one of the rear vent holes. Originally Posted By englishguy3012:

I say this because I did as well. There should be six 1/4" #6-32 socket screws, instead mine came with 5 correct screws and one 1/2" screw. Because I'm impatient and didn't feel like driving to the hardware store I attempted to install them all anyway. Sure enough the 1/2" screw gouged into the receiver, the rest did not. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kalmar:
The product photos for the CASV are pretty deceptive, as Buddy noted they do show the rail featuring an aft QD point. I'm not sure when or why this was changed in production models, but retailers should definitely make sure what they are marketing is exactly what they're selling. As far as making your own attachment point, I think something like this is going to be your best bet. Should be easily mountable to one of the rear vent holes. I firmly believe the poster in question received the incorrect length screws with his rail that caused the issue you described. I say this because I did as well. There should be six 1/4" #6-32 socket screws, instead mine came with 5 correct screws and one 1/2" screw. Because I'm impatient and didn't feel like driving to the hardware store I attempted to install them all anyway. Sure enough the 1/2" screw gouged into the receiver, the rest did not.

I have been considering using an Uncle Mikes QD which has a hole in base which should allow to be attached to one of the screw inserts on the rail. It just sucks that it won't be flush. Uncle Mikes QD Cup I also thought about drilling out one of the screw inserts but there does not appear to be enough cavity space between the CASV and upper receiver for a QD swivel to clear . Another option is using a BFG UWL looped through the vent holes which will require removal of the rail due to the shallow cavity space. Cheers |

I'm really curious now why VLTOR changed the mounting position from their initial design. Whichever method you decide be sure to let us know how it works out.
Meanwhile I wen't back to the tried and true Sentinel/Tango Down rails, at least until something significantly better comes out. (I like removing my barrel sometimes haha.) |
