Tactical Rail Sling Mount on a Budget

                    This $3.98 Imported Picatinny Rail Sling mount will be reviewed today:

For starters, it is a very low profile mount, that is of minimal size, and yet surprisingly rugged for what it is.
I thought what the hell, for less than $4 delivered from hongkong, it was worth a try.
                   Here it is as received from a far-away e- commerce seller, 7 days after buying.



Some other views:


As we can see: this small aluminium sling mount is minimalist, and for normal range duty it may suffice.

Here's some dimensional information:
1.230" Long, .470" Wide, .805" Tall, .276" Hole, Lug is .230" wide

Here's the mount on a rifle: I have had great luck with using surplus grenade rings as sling mounts, and this setup illustrates their utility:


Lastly, We need to put this mount to a good torture test to determine field readiness. Suggested is to loc-tite the screw, and to ensure you choose the optimal location as the low-grade aluminium threads will eventually pull out with too many location changes!
Stay tuned for the torture test!
