IWC QD End Plate RL

By Matt on February 24, 2016 in Guns

Impact Weapons Components has upgraded their QD End Plate RL a few times now. They recently changed their machining processes slightly to further improve the finish. The changes will be difficult to see unless you are a machinist yourself but it is always cool to see a company improve their products – even in small ways.

I use these end plates extensively and I prefer them to others because of their thicker steel construction that is easy to stake. They are also one of the few rotation limited QD end plates on the market. With most sling swivels, the receiver extension (buffer tube) will prevent full rotation. However, smaller “D” shaped QD swivels will spin freely unless your end plate is rotation limited like this one.

IWC and HSP Introduce Thorntail BACKBONE Scout Light Bodies and Thorntail INLINE Mount

By Matt on November 28, 2015 in Flashlights, Guns

The partnership of Impact Weapons Components and Haley Strategic Partners has been a fruitful one. Their latest creations build on the original concept of the Thorntail Light Mount and bring a new level of lateral adjustment. Their new Thorntail BACKBONE Scout Light Bodies and Thorntail INLINE Mount are now available.

The Thorntail BACKBONE Light Bodies are available for the single CR123A 300 Series Scout Lights and for the two CR123A 600 Series Scout Lights. These light bodies are fully compatible with all Scout series accessories and feature a unique threaded hole pattern that allows nearly 1/4″ of lateral adjustment for light placement with any Scout compatible mount. This allows the user to fine tune the placement of the light to their liking. In addition, these light bodies are slimmer and lighter than the original Scout light bodies.

When the Thorntail BACKBONE Light Bodies are used with the new Thorntail INLINE Adaptive Light Mount, the user has even greater ability to fine tune the light placement. The Thorntail INLINE has its own unique mounting hole pattern that, when coupled with the Thorntail BACKBONE, provide almost 1/2″ of lateral adjustment.

IWC Expands SMC Light Mount Line in a Big Way

By Matt on November 4, 2015 in Flashlights, Guns

Impact Weapons Components (IWC) quietly rolled out three new additions to their excellent SMC Light Mount line. The original SMC Light Mount was, and still is, the ideal light mount for use with the pre-MLOK MOE Hand Guards from Magpul. It’s design allowed it to bolt easily to the MOE slots and cantilever the light forward and up, freeing up space on the hand guard and placing the light in the ideal solution for the support hand thumb.

When you look at the SMC, which predates the IWC/HSP Thorntail series of light mounts, you can see the lineage of the IWC/HSP Light Mounts. This ability to extend the light forward has become a signature of IWC’s light mounting products.

On to the new products…

SMCXL – The SMC XL is basically just a longer version of the original SML. It places the light at the same height as the original but extends it forward further. This is especially useful on the new MOE SL Hand Guards and shorter versions of Magpul’s MOE AK Hand Guards. Like the original, it accepts Surefire Scout lights directly and can be used with IWC’s flashlight rings in various sizes. It also accepts the new 45 Offset 1913 for the SMC/SMCXL.

It is available separately for use with the Surefire Scout lights, bundled with various sizes of flashlight rings, or bundled with the new 45 Offset 1913 rail.

45 Offset 1913 for the SMC/SMCXL – The new 45 Offset 1913 is a bolt on part for the SMC and SMCXL. It mounts to the same threaded holes used by IWC’s flashlight rings. This rail features 4 cross slots which makes it the perfect length for mounting lights like Surefire’s X300 series or the INFORCE WML. This not only extends the light up and forward but cants it at 45 degrees to make operating the switch more ergonomic.

It is available separately as an addition to your existing SMC/SMCXL, or bundled with either the SMC or SMCXL.

SMC M-LOK Adapters – This is the least obvious addition to the line but one that brings the SMC/SMCXL functionality to ALL available MOE Hand Guards. When you purchase an SMC or SMCXL Light Mount, you select which hand guard you will be mounting it to. If you select one that features M-LOK slots, two small spacers are included that simply slip into the SMC mount’s screw holes and fill the space in the larger M-LOK slots. They are very easy to use and they add nothing to the cost of the mount.

The release of these items is good news for MOE Hand Guard user but it is especially good news for those using Magpul’s Hand Guards on their AK pattern rifles. The SMC is the perfect solution for placing your light on the shorter MOE AK and AKM Hand Guard. They work especially well when coupled with a hand stop which makes the light easy to reach and operate. I have tried a number of light mounting solutions for my AKs and these are by far the best.

IWC Installing QD Micro Flush Sling Mounts in Magpul MOE SL and MOE M-LOK Hand Guards

By Matt on October 6, 2015 in Guns

Impact Weapons Components makes a ton of handy widgets and the QD Micro Flush Sling Mount is likely their handiest. I have sung their praises on these pages before.

They are great solution for adding a sling mount to Magpul’s MOE Hand Guards and they are very easy to install. However, I realize that some of you don’t have the time, tools, or inclination to do it yourself and it is for guys like you that IWC offers MOE Hand Guards with the QD Micro Flush Sling Mounts professionally installed.

Previously, these were only available on the original MOE Hand Guards. Now IWC has expanded the service to include all in-stock MOE Hand Guards including the new MOE SL and M-LOK compatible versions.
