    For the thrill of the thread. And to keep people coming back. Also it's the way it's done. Intrigued?

    Hell ya! I think the slightly chewed look gives 'er personality (moxie)...As far as tricks with hand-file,and other touch ups, growing up we managed to fix half the stuff were tore-up. Still got whoopins from the other half..

    So just to play devil's advocate, you utilized a part from a less well-known manufacture (note I didn't say less reputable which would infer low quality) and your personal opinions aside and that part failed for whatever reason. Am I reading to much into this or do you have your answer as to why right there?

    At a carbine course last week, I noted that the sewn-in QD swivel on my VCAS sling looked and felt like it engaged the Noveske socket on my NSR, but didn't. I caught the rifle before it hit the dirt. It did subsequently engage solidly after I pushed it down hard.

    Some swivels fit the depth of some sockets better than others, apparently.

    Things break and get damaged, in some cases its a fluke and some its not. Having a qd break should not cause you to write them off altogether. I have seen m4 stocks sheer off still use them.

    Just asking is it a possibility that when you dropped your rifle it landed on the button(the weakest part) causing the damage.

    It's not so bad.

    10 pushups and all will be right with the world.

    Had a DD QD attachment point (not supplied with swivel) that was out of specs and would release by turning the swivel in it. They had a batch made with this problem back in fall/winter time frame and the attachment points made it out to distribution before they caught it.

    DD made it right for me. Fortunately, I discovered it before dropping a weapon, because I hate push-ups, even if they are only 10 Army push-ups.

    He said he's getting the manufacturer's response first. That's in keeping with the rules of the forum, which are in place to prevent knee-jerking witch hunts.
    This isn't an illegal gun, it's an "undocumented protection device". Don't be so insensitive.

    I had this problem on an NSR QD attach point too. I found I had to insert the QD and then twist and it would click solidly into place. I suspect this has something to do with the non-rotation feature...
