    Which reminds me. Any of you guys have reccomendations on what I should do with this new endplate?

    A fabric sewn Fastex fastener? HK hook? Mash hook?

    If you were using this endplate, what attachments would you use?

    Mash hooks are king. Avoid HK hooks.

    I also wouldn't use that end plate (knuckle buster).

    I've got some good service from them, EOTec cover and "agency" useable sling plate. Direct support took it of and wired to FSB with note "un-authorised with a smiley face

    The QD design is decades (at least) old. Its not just for QD sling mounts. Pneumatic and hydraulic fittings use the same basics of design and they hold back hundreds if not thousands (in certain applications) of PSI.

    Think about how heavy a Mac or Snap-On impact gun is. You wont find a single person in any tire place or garage who sets their gun on the ground without lowering it down by letting the air hose slide through their hand. By doing so you are letting the guns weight and all the PSI air pressure in the line to load the QD fitting. Further many of these fittings are simply brass and much much softer than a steel QD sling mount.

    I'd bet most slings straps would tear apart before any part of the steel QD would fail...

    I like QD because putting dozens of rifles in a safe that all have slings is not only a bitch, its a lot of money in slings! I use mostly 3 points but also single points. Its nice to leave the sling on and change out whatever rifle im shooting. I put QD in similar locations on all my rifles (cept for the Barrett) so no sling adjustment is needed. Its the equivalent of having one pistol holster that fits all the different handguns you own, wouldnt that be something! lol

    Likewise. My air gun was dropped almost to the ground, held by the hose, and then eased to the floor, all day every day for 6 years. Never failed.


    I also use the same principle with my slings. Allows me to try new things or old things once again and the versatility doesn't cost much more. All of my guns can use all of my slings, save for NRA HP stuff.
