I'm Chris Sizelove, and this is the BCM Low-Profile Push Button QD Mount for M-LOK.

So, we do not manufacture these — this is a BCM product — but it's a fantastic low-profile QD, or Quick Detach, mount for push-button sling mounts, and it's going to go on an M-LOK rail.

Just real quick — the reason we have these on our website is so that the client or customer doesn't have to go to multiple websites to get full mission capability. So, pick your sling. If you're running either a one-inch or 1.25-inch push button on that sling and you have an M-LOK railed rifle, you don't have to go to a different website to buy the mount.

Installation of these things is really simple. I already have one installed up here at the far end of this rail. As you can see, not very big, not obtrusive. The good thing about these as well is — in a perfect world, I want all of my QD mounts, either in the buttstocks or on the rails, to be anti-rotational.

And that's important for me, because the worst thing — a lot of manufacturers make QD holes and QD mounts, but there are no scallops cut in them. So what that means is, when I put my push button in there, the thing will spin free. So as I'm using my sling, as I'm using my rifle — going from front to rear, back to front, low carry, high ready, all these kinds of things — sometimes what can happen with a rotational QD mount is you're spinning this QD and the sling.

Over time, the front of your sling looks like this — and if it looks like this, you're not going to be able to adjust it very well at all. So having non-rotational QD mounts in the front and in the rear — you know, good buttstock manufacturers also embed QD mounts that are anti-rotational; they've got scallops cut inside of them to make sure it doesn't rotate. That's what we need here.

I already have one up here mounted, but the beauty of these things being so small and unobtrusive is — well, what if, for whatever usage techniques I have, I also want to put one back here? So I can just change my sling depending on what I'm doing — vehicles, you know, whatever. Hell yeah, let's do it. That capability is not going to cost me much in terms of size and weight.

So let's go ahead and mount that. When you pull these out of the package, they're covered in cosmoline, so you probably want to take an alcohol wipe and get that stuff off there first — or else your hands are going to get nasty. But you are going to get that amazing cosmoline smell for a couple of weeks after you mount it, so pick what you want there.

All we need to do to mount this thing is get these two feet — you see these turn? These are the two feet. They're going to lock into this M-LOK rail. Get those faced the proper direction, in line with your rails, slide them in there, give it some tension to the rear.

The kit, when you buy these, comes with the Allen wrench. In fact, I think on the website there's a picture of the mount and an Allen wrench, so you're going to get this too.

Go ahead and put a little bit of tension at 12:00. Pull the mount up just a little bit — that's just to get some tension on it so it starts to thread — and thread it down.

Installation of the M-LOK mount is quite simple. You're going to stick it in there, slide it back, and start cranking. A lot of times, I find I’m going to need a tool or something to stick down through that slot and stop one of those feet from rotating — just to kind of give it a little bit of tension. Then it'll tighten up, no problem.

So I got this guy here mounted. Also a good idea — you know, anything that takes a screw on your rifle — would be to take a fine tip paint marker and witness mark these bolts. That’s just so, after a day of shooting, you can do a visual inspection and say, "Yep, red line lines up with red line — that thing’s not starting to back out." Using Loctite could also absolutely be a good thing in this, because these things vibrate a lot when you're shooting the rifle.

Now that they're mounted on there, you can kind of see how many options this gives me. I’ve got a QD hole all the way at the 12:00 because I want all of this range of adjustment. But for whatever reason — depending on what I’m doing: weird barricade, weird shooting position, vehicles, whatever — I can bust this, move it back here toward the end of the rail, and have a little bit different application.

So at the end of the day, these BCM Low-Profile QD M-LOK Mounts is what we go with here at Blue Force Gear. They're on the website for your convenience, and you don’t have to go to multiple websites to get the entire setup that you need.
