Hey @Dspazio Have you found a solution to this problem? Because I am facing the same need. > [@Mutable skeletal mesh merge ignores attachment bone offsets unless reference poses match](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/mutable-skeletal-mesh-merge-ignores-attachment-bone-offsets-unless-reference-poses-match/2705205): > > I am building a modular weapon system using Mutable and the Customizable Object Plugin. The Issue My Receiver (Base) skeleton defines a barrel bone at (0, 5, 5), Root ├─ barrel (0,5,5) ├─ scope └─ other attachment bones but my Barrel Attachment is authored at (0, 0, 0) for reusability.
