What is the MIDWEST INDUSTRIES, INC. - MCTAR-08HD Heavy Duty Adapter?

Two-piece clamp with single cross-bolt secures adapter to Picatinny/Weaver-style handguard rails so you have a front sling attachment point. MCTAR-06 has pivoting, 1¼" wide swivel for direct sling attachment. Rubber coating on swivel prevents noisy, metal-to-metal contact. MCTAR-07 includes a fixed, dome-shaped stud that accepts your own, standard quick-detach swivel. MCTAR-08 includes a 11⁄4" wide, 360º rotating, push-button swivel for rapid sling removal. MCTAR-08HD has heavy duty base and swivel that stands up to extreme tactical operations. 1¼" wide, quick-detach swivel limits travel to prevent sling wrapping yet allows necessary movement.


SPECS: Bases - 6061 aluminum, mil-spec hardcoat anodized, matte black; steel setscrew, matte black oxide. MCTAR-08HD - 7?8" (2.2cm) long x 13?16" (3cm) wide. Swivels/Studs - Steel, black finish. Swivels accept slings up to 11?4" (3.2cm) wide.

Solidly-built sling adapter
Solid construction, correct size, easy to install. This went on the rail of an AR 15-22 rifle.

Great QD sling mount
It quickly attached to my KS12T's supplied rails and gives me the ability to attach a sling due to the QD holes on the KS12T plastic rail's do not retain a QD sling swivel. It's heavy duty which will last and you will not have to worry about break down's. It will accept other brands of QD swivels I have installed on other slings. It is supplied with an allen wrench to install to a rail.

Solid
The unit is soild. I put a little break free on it for lubrication and it ran silently. I mounted it on my M4 type carbine's for end as a side mount, I used it with a Blue Force gear Vickers sling. The sling has a tendancy to cause the swivel to turn 180. It's a bit annoying. I give it 5 stars, because it fit and held wonderfully. I was doing drills that caused me to go prone and sprint. No problems with the mount. During instalation, the screw tightened properly and I didnt have to worry about stripping the threads in the aluminum. MI makes quality products.
