Looking For a Hook Loop Sling Endplate
I'm really not sure what this falls under, so Mods feel free to move this if it's in the wrong spot.
A friend of mine is looking to set up his rifle with a Magpul MS3 sling with the clip-hook attachments.
I have finally convinced him to go for a "tactical" sling, and after a little show and tell/looking on internet together, he zeroed in on the MS3 because he can experiment with 2 or 1 point mode as much as he wants.
The thing is he runs his rifles very basic/classic.
I think he'll switch to an MOE handguard, so I was going to have him use the MSA MOE hook loop attachment.
Now he just needs something for the rear mount.
I think swapping endplates is going to be the best bet as far as options and ease of use go (he's built every rifle he owns, so this shouldn't be a problem)
I was going to suggest him something like Vltor (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/857...ne-steel-black) or GG&G's (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/588...ne-steel-matte)endplate.
My questions are- are either of these GTG?
-Will the both FIT the hooks on the MS3 sling?
I have seen some other ones get not-so-good reviews for failures/breakage and I want to be sure I reccommend him one that will hold up.
Are there any OTHER brands that would be a better choice?
I showed him Magpuls ASAP[?] ambi endplate (because he's looking to experiment with 1-point as well), and he didn't seem to like it- I can run it past him again, but he seems to be leaning toward the single loop type like I linked to.
Should I perhaps suggest a 2-loop ambi endplate?

{Yeah, I know YHM sucks- it's just an example.}
I know this is kind of dumb, but I run QD points, and all my research is in those, so I don't know what the good stuff is for hook attachents.

The Noveske QD end plate is a solid choice. Add a heavy QD swivel, and hook into that.
I like using this end plate on my builds for single point capability. Ambidextrous without the rattle.
