The full name of the newest sling mount from Impact Weapons Components is the 45 Offset 1913 Rail QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT. That is a mouthful but when a product looks this good you can get away with a lengthy name like that. I’ll just call it the 45 Offset Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT.
The 45 Offset Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT is notable for a few reasons but one really stands out to me. This is just about as low a profile as I have ever seen on a sling mount. It looks like it is utilizing the same mounting method as the Thorntail Light Mount which means it sits extremely close to the rail – almost as close as a rail cover. The QD sling swivel receptacle sits at a 45 degree angle to the rail allowing it to tuck into the space between the rails. The mount itself has a very low profile but the angled socket allows the QD sling swivel to be very low profile as well.

Cool, I’ve been looking for THAT and didn’t know who made one…

Any insight on how this might work on an AK with an Ultimak?
Ian,
I am not sure. I know it would work on the forward part of the Ultimak. I suspect that it wouldn’t work on the rearmost part because of the “shoulder” that is on the sides of that part of the rail. I will try to find out for sure.
Matt, We sent you one yesterday to play with. Earl
Get a chance to see if it will work on an Ultimak yet?
Ian,
It will work on the forward part of the Ultimak but not on the rear part where there is a “shoulder” below the rail.
Cool. Thanks for the info, it is much appreciated.
