QD Swivel Attachment question

[vram74]

Was looking at these two items so I could add a single point sling. Which one of these is better and will torquing down one of these to the buffer tube possibly squeeze the tube, thus causing malfunctions?

Either one would be an acceptable choice. And they're not going to squeeze the receiver extension. I would be surprised if you could crush the receiver extension before you snapped the screws on the attachment.

I can only comment on the Troy mount. It clamps around the castle nut very securely and will not deform anything. The QD sockets are non-rotational to keep the sling from twisting up. With this mount installed, you won't be able to completely collapse the stock to the shortest locked position. Whether that's a concern is up to you. It's a very solid clamp on mount if you're not going to go with changing out the receiver end plate.

Being installed on the castle nut, does the troy mount create any difficulties charging the weapon? Using a BCM Gunfighter (Med) if that makes a difference.

any particular reason your opting for the easy attach mounts instead of just breaking the castle nut free and replacing the stock end plate?

personally I like noveske QD end plate since you can maintain true ambi control. Although depending on your stock it will contact the rear of the mount when full collapsed. It does this with my CTR but it still locks into the forward position.

I don't have a any of the tools required to remove it/replace it nor is there a decent gunsmith in this area to do it for me. Everyone around here are hacks or gave the impression of being a hack during phone conversations.

I have been using only the Noveske end-plate QD mounts too. They're steel rather than aluminum, cost-effective, and have continued to work well for me.

Have the DD endplate on some guns at home. Have that same Troy at work. Troy is smaller than the DD you listed. Of the two you listed I'd go with the Troy for lower profile. It is good to go.

None whatsoever. The photo shows the top of the mount is machined flat so that it does not protrude above the height of the lower receiver. Any CH will have the clearance to properly work.

I have one of these on my rifle and it works very well. I do want to pick up one of the Noveske plates though.

This could be a good option also. Left/Right and Center attachment.

my word of advice is to accumulate the appropriate tools as you need as you encounter the various needs of the AR platform. Your looking at needing a basic stock spanner type wrench and a punch, thats it. so roughly 15-30$ which is probably cheaper than any local smith would want if they decide to rape you on the work. Atleast then you have to tools for future use. Eventually youll have all of the basic tools and means to do your own work. ymmv

+1 on the Troy.. I have both the carbine and the rifle version.. They are well made and do the job... Ron

Absent the ability to change the receiver endplate, I would opt for the above.

I'm not a single-point kind of guy. Although all of my rifles have Noveske endplates, I rarely use them anymore even for two-point sling, opting instead to use the strong-side QD sockets on the stocks for the rear attachment point.
