The only downside is I seem to be unable to use my ASAP.
Fellow UBR user here, and I've been wondering the same thing. The MS2 sling seems like a great option, but without an ASAP-style solution for the UBR, I'm not seeing where it'd benefit me a whole lot more than my current setup of a slacked-out Vickers sling. :confused:
Yeah, you can't use any sling adapter from what I remember on the instructions, since the UBR is designed to work without a sling plate.
I still use my MS2 sling with a QD swivel on my UBR, shoulder transitions about as easily as with the ASAP plate on other lowers.
The ASAP plate will not work with the UBR. If you don't like it I'll take it. I could use another. :cool:
I really think Magpul should have designed the UBR with the ASAP in mind. Don't get me wrong, I love every product I have purchased from Magpul, but think this was one thing they should have considered.
I think it would be reasonable to design a loop that replaced the forward-most QD socket with an ASAP-style bar w/ sliding link. But it takes design time, and manufacturing capacity.
With relatively few UBRs out there, and only a portion that would want that addition, there probably isn't a demand significant enough to justify the development costs and production costs.
Personally -- I think the UBR is best suited on full length rifles and I don't like the single point on them as much, so I'm happy with attachments for a 2-point. I do love me some UBR goodness though!

Prior to reading this post, I was sitting here thinking the same thing...some sort of loop that replaced the forward QD swivel.
And Rob, I didn't consider that the ASAP came after the UBR....so my bad.
Man! I have a ubr inbound too.
