Chief Armorer for Elite Shooting Sports in Manassas VA
Chief Armorer for Corp Arms (FFL 07-08/SOT 02)
we did not get a whole lot of switch shoulder stuff in this class - the advantage to attaching the sling at the rear of the buttstock is it allows the weapon to hang muzzle down naturally - to switch shoulders run out the slack with the adjuster, take your support side arm out of the sling, and switch shoulders - the attachment at the receiver rear is easier because most people DO NOT have to take the support side arm out of the sling - just run out the slack and switch - however like everything in life there is a downside; with the weapon slung it will shift to a horizontal attitude unless controlled and become a safety hazard (sweeping people with your muzzle)
best bet is try someones rifle set up different than yours and see which method you like the best
be safe

I tried the end plate configuration but gave it up when I kept smacking my finger on the end plate loop itself while manipulating the charging handle. FWIW, I connect the buttstock end of the sling to the outside of the stock because it stays out of the way when I shoulder the rifle. You can see how I have my sling in the links below (courtesy of Templar ). YMMV.

Looks like another great class with LAV. I see quite a few people I know attended. I wish I would have too!! I guess I'll just have to make up for it in the LAV CQB course next week.
Hi-jack back on:
I used to attach the rear of the sling to an end plate adapter but found the sling would occasionally interfere with the charging handle during malfunction drills. In my humble opinion if an accessory interferes with the proper function of the gun then it is a NO GO. I’m a lefty, so maybe that had something to do with it, but that is my experience with the two mounting options.
YMMV.
Hi-jack end-ex.
