I am honestly skeptical of it being a reliable method for mounting on a lightweight .30 gas gun. You are getting less than 200 pounds of tension on the threads/receiver clamping force , and the comp m4 is over half a pound. It's a sexy mount, but I'd really like to see high speed video of it being shot. That said, I've also read that most lever systems only provide around 50 pounds of force. I remain divided, but scalar works is good people and they do test their stuff.
