So I’ve had ever QD Mount I’ve ever known so that. It’s like you’re giving it a little pressure and it’s letting the bearings in just a little or something. I think it might the male part of your QD not the female because I have one that is more succeptible than others that have.
The Fix from Q
- Thread starter Tyler455

Are you running the QD mount in the hole closest to the magwell on the handguard? When I tried to run mine in the furthest rear position, my QD would hit the barrel tennon and wouldn't completely engage.
I haven't had any problems when I moved it one slot forward. This was with a Blue Force/Vickers sling.
No barrel clearance issue. It's 0/4 with the qd's that Magpul uses on their slings. The one I the buttstock holds fine though.
It appears the slots in the adapter are too small for the ball bearings on the swivel. I'll have to see what others I have laying around
Make sure theres no rust buildup in the swivel , it can prevent the bearings from engaging
The fix is fantastic but does it ever expose your flaws...spent some time zeroing rifles today. Finished the day with my fix at 100 and then 250 yards

Not yet but I’m really pissed off after importing a Fix to the U.K. to find it doesn’t work with the proof research barrel.
What a waste of $49 plus the export and import cost.
Bro take a little off the end of the QD then throw a tiny polymer spacer under the screw mount. When there’s a will there’s a way.
Hey all I just posted my Proof Carbon 16.5 6.5 creed barrel in the PX. I hate to sell but I need to raise some fast cash for something else.
I’m sorry man. I am NOT exaggerating. I’ve had 20 PMs about it. A good dude that I’ve dealt with before was smart enough to say “I’ll take it” before anyone else could. Maybe I should have asked for more haha. Extensions are made of unicorn horns and are worth their weight in unobtanium I guess.
Sling mounts for Big barrels are done, my buddy dropped some off
So White Mamba. How can a guy get a hold of one or two of those sling mounts? Look great.
Brownells says the fix is in stock. I just ordered one from another source that had only the 1. Brownells was cheaper ha
Oops

Are these aluminum?Sling mounts for Big barrels are done, my buddy dropped some off
The Q made one sucks. Dropped my rifle using it from the same problems others have had with the sling twisting slightly. Landed right on the S&B... Everything was fine thankfully.
Shot my 22 inch Q barrel this weekend. 800 yards is easy. Literally it’s like ding ding ding. Over and over. I hate shooting factory ammo because It’s expensive. This sig ammo was quite interesting though. Only $1 per round and It uses a 140 SMK and the SD wasn’t bad for factory ammo. Wasn’t anything near my hand loads in the Proof barrel either though. 2663 avg out of a 22. I’d expected it to be faster as the 142 SMK does 2600 out of the Proof 16.5 barrel.

Cool I was hoping it was a whole new hand guard with the Arca down the bottom. Thanks for sharing
@Akdodge88 I did! Rattle can masterpiece ??
Loving all these pictures of the fix ?? such a good looking rifle

Took my fix too the range. I can’t decide if the Proof barrel prefers 147gr or 140gr factory Hornady Match ammo better. Both photos are the Hornady 147gr Match ammo. The 100yd target shows my 5 round sighter to adjust from the Hornady 140gr. The bottom right group I realized I was fighting mirage from the barrel when the wind stopped, there should be 5 rounds there, not sure if one went astray, or I put two in the same hole.
I’m leaning towards the Hornady 147s, since they performed almost on par with the Federal 147 gold medal which shot phenomenal, I just can’t afford $40 a box locally for the federal.
I did switch to a Spuhr mount, which I do like better than the Warne rings I had.

I just got my paws on one of these sling mounts from WM and I'm pretty sure the hand guard will fail before this mount does. I didn't have full confidence in the Q version, so this is well received. Not rocket science, but a well made piece of equipment adding to my piece of mind. Thanks WM.Sling mounts for Big barrels are done, my buddy dropped some off
Proof has been on record as saying their barrels prefer the 147 and 140 ELDs but mine shot the 142 SMK equally as good.
Anyone have updated backorder info on the 6.5CM from Q? They still sitting at 8-10 months from order date? Ordered mine in December. Just curious as Q posted a “6.5 ready to ship” story on Instagram.
I just passed the 9 month mark waiting for mine with the 6.5 Proof barrel. Q is pointing towards Proof as the hold-up.....
I think that had been a screenshot of a vendor who had one in stock, unfortunately :/
I’m hiding up here in Alaska. Luckily where I’m at doesn’t get too cold, just lots of wind and rain.
I have seen quite a few come up for sale in the secondary market as well as online vendors and places like gunbroker recently, so my advice to anyone would be to spend the extra $100 or whatever it takes to get your rifle in days rather than months/a year. Unless you are specifically looking for a Proof (as you are), you are pretty much guaranteed to see one pop up for sale before you would receive a rifle ordered directly from Q or through a local FFL.
Maybe Proof is the issue but I don't know about that. I have heard that how they prioritize their shipments is a little wonky and does not favor the individual customer who pays in full at time of order.
Brownells is killing it as far as pricing goes. I picked up my 16" .308 advertised at 3027.00 Saved 10% and free shipping with a discount code, and knocked another 4% off that with Active Junky. All said and done for just over 2600.
They have a 22" 6.5 in stock, but no 10% off codes today.

If you're ordering through Q you're wasting your time and not saving any money. Find a dealer that has them in stock (ie...Brownell's) and jump on it. Q does not want to sell individual rifles, they want to sell rifles in bulk to big volume distributors and dealers.
Unicorn horn courtesy of Movistar. Standup guy strapped cash to it for what I assume was one day late shipping. Kind of pissed now that I owe him a favor. ?
Great guy to deal with. I’ll try to get some info put out on this and the Q barrel that I had chopped to match (weights, velocity, groups etc.).
Thanks again M!!!
Haha I left it in there for you because I felt bad it took me an extra day. I try to ship big ticket items immediately and this one took a little longer than I would have been happy with myself. Enjoy it. The 20 buys me first right of refusal should you ever want to sell it haha. Enjoy it brother. Wish I didn’t have to sell it but life happens.
