Has anyone seen an mlok thing that is just a threaded stub to accept a 1/2 x 28 thread protector while shooting a can, that can be reinstalled on the barrel once done shooting?

Seems like a good idea you could sell if you can't find one.
Should be easy to make one from an mlok bipod mount with a drill press and a few minutes.

What’s the setup?
I looked for an mlok pen light mount, like a universal type mount that could maybe hold a bit of threaded rod. No luck.
Of course most guys use QD mounts and leave their protectors in a drawer.

I wish to make this as compactible as possible, i.e. remove silencer. The stock is an SB FS1913 aluminum

I see letters of the alphabet that I learned back in grade school in this thread but I swear they are being re-arranged in a foreign language! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

"I see letters of the alphabet that I learned back in grade school in this thread but I swear they are being re-arranged in a foreign language! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) " I busted out laughing at your comment Robb. A while back,, I was cruising a different Forum,, and there were all kinds of gun related descriptions in a "foreign language" just like you described. Apparently,, the new-fangled stuff has a language all unto itself. I'm too old to try & learn a new language so I'll just stick with english & SA revolvers.

Are the sling sockets anti rotation ones? I wonder if you could thread the outside of a QD sling swivel.
Of course is you have the means to do that, you could just OD thread a short stub of steel, aluminum, or even Derlin, then tap the center and just bolt it to one of the holes.

I'm having a similar issue finding a light mount that tucks in the space between the barrel and mag extension for my Beretta 1301 Comp. All the mounts I see stick way too far out and so add bulk to the gun. I know there's a better way. I'll just have to make the mount myself apparently.

If I had any desire to sell it once I make one, which I do not I believe it would sell I'm just kind of tickled I came up with the idea now I just have to get a friend of mine to make me one

I only have one can and only use it on one carbine (Contender), so I leave it mounted and the thread protector stays in a parts box dedicated to the Contenders.
HOWEVER, this is a neat idea. "Hollow pistol grip" comes to mind, which might be easier with an AR, with all the aftermarket stuff, but I've pondered making a "trap door" for the Contender Carbine. And what about all that spare space inside the butt stock? No aftermarket stuff in that way for the Contender.
The threaded 1/2-28 stub attached to something is a neat idea. I think I'd incorporate an o-ring to serve as sort of a "lock-washer" so I didn't lose the thread protector while stored on the stub. 1/2" Delrin or Nylon rod, threaded and Loctited into an internal thread on a flat piece of aluminum, steel, more plastic(?) should work. It just has to hold the thing, not support against a side load.
