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.

This was easily remedied with a few good taps to the loop with a ball peen hammer

I think the IKH SLAP is going to be best choice, next to the Magpul ASAP, to use with the MS3. The clips on the MS3 won't fit most HK style loops.
