Default front sling mount for M&P 15 ORC

i have looked all over but i can't find anywhere where it says "this is the front sling mount that will fit on your M&P 15"

i bought the ORC model with no sights and no front sling mount. anybody know where i can get one or which one will fit??

not sure what that model looks like but does it have a quad rail, or what setup does it have?

I have the same rifle and the same issue. There's a threaded hole in the area where I would expect the front swivel to go, don't know what it's for if not for that. Maybe someone here has the answer.

I e-mailed S&W with that question when I got my first M&P-15 ORC. They responded that yes, that's what the threaded hole was for.

I never bothered to try to find out what the thread turn-ratio was as I have since installed a Quad Rail forearm and a Midwest Industries sling attachement to the forearm.

Not to hijack the thread, but is the factory forearm good and tight on your M&P-15 ORCs? Mine was a little loose and so is the new rail forearm I put on. It has a little up and down play because it isn't very tight right where the retainer ring is located behind the gas block. It's to the point that I certainly couldn't mount a laser or other sight on the forearm because it has too much play.

I think my ORC is one of the first. I saw a new one a few weeks ago and it looks like they might have found a way to make the connection more rigid.
