My Colt is really staked nice and I don't want to pull the tube. What's the best attachment??? Thanks, I have a big carbine class coming.

I've had good luck using the MI's from Brownells on my 6940 and 901-16S. Pull off the butt,slide it down the tube,line up the slots,snug it in and clamp it down tight. Have them on a couple other AR's and so far no problems.
None.
To do it right you need to pull the RE.
It's really not that bad though, and re-staking is pretty simple.
If you want to leave your end plate in place, you need the Tango Down PR-4.
I agree with Jack. Use an endplate. Noveske and IWC make two that are QD. I've seen the TD pull loose after the user dropped their carbine and let it land on the non-bungee sling. The mount was captured by the stock, but it made us all clench-up (especially since he had a can on the muzzle at the time).
Do it right. Plenty of youtube videos to show you how.
FailureToStop is 100% right. I have used the "clamp type." It WILL come loose with use. No question.
Agreed. I run a Noveske qd end plate. Unstaking the factory end plate wasn't too bad at all. Re staking is really easy too. Just make sure you stake the endplate in two places. I've had no issues with the end plate, but the MS3 sling is another story.
Get the end plate that is STEEL and not Aluminum....Noveske or IWC & B5 I think.

I used the tan version on a deployment and it never came loose. It doesn't beat a staked receiver/end plate but if you don't have the tools, don't want to remove and re-stake, or not allowed because it is an issued weapon, get the Troy.
Noveske QD plate on mine. No issues.
