Required modification.
Purchased for use on a Windham Weaponry SRC bayonet lug. The bayonet lug required filing on the angled side facing the magazine and the flat side facing away from the lug mount to be able to line up the holes for the spring pin and to be able to push the lug inside of the mount. The rail mount required filing on top for the same reasons. With the modifications the rail is still not parallel with the rifle. It wants to point down away from the barrel. I rated this a 2 because of the modifications and the inability to make fine adjustments. The quality of materials and manufacturing appears to be good. I do like the sling lug placement and function. I don't mind the modifications so much, what bothers me is there is no way to keep the mount parallel with the rifle.
