no, no, i did some research on the company and its just a new company , the diffrence is that these mounts supposedly bolt right into stock place then you weld it to hold better, but i should be getting them either later today or tomorrow here is a link to a picture of the mounts http://www.mmrusa.com/avid.htm
all it is, they are a new company and instead of using billiet alum, they use steel and polyurethane
plus it comes with a 100% lifetime warranty, so ill try them, steel has got to be better for stability right?
