I'm not familiar with the Leatherwood. If it's steel, that alone is probably a big improvement over any of the aluminum ones. The one I had in mind is the Sadlak steel mount (http://www.sadlak.com/si_rifle_parts_sm.html). The Leatherwood mount looks pretty similar, conceptually, and is a lot less expensive.
How does the clip-guide-slot adapter on the Leatherwood mount to the receiver? The Sadlak clamps the clip-guide replacement in place with set-screws, but the Springfield Armory mount I tried first had to have it's clip-guide block roll-pinned in place.
It's all probably a bit moot at the moment, though. Unless either I or cymrullewes finds a job or the NH Unemployment Security Department gets its finger out in pretty short order, I don't know what we're buying food with this month.
