    I did not try to replicate it once I removed the endplate no. But after my rifle fell I continually was able to yank it out by hand.

    No it was steel. "ordnance grade" Supposedly. Thank you for the photo. That Noveske looks considerably more heavy duty.

    QD forever ruined

    I would also look into the male end on the swivel. It could be possible you have a large socket and a smaller swivel and that caused it. I do know on the Noveske plate with swivels from BFG and others that it is a snug fit and a push-pull is needed to make sure it fits. 40# hanging off the sling was a non-issue for me.

    Jim Dunlop uses a similar concept for their strap locks for musical instruments and there have never been pull out issues from anyone I know to use them. There are crappy copies of this system out there and those do fail in a similar manner.

    The devil is in the details.

    Are you sure the button was coming out all the way? If the mount or QD is out of spec the button may not come out all the way, if it's close it might feel like it's locked in but actually can be pulled out.

    I'm afraid to say no. I'm not absolutely certain. I seated it fully, & gave it a tug, and it held. I payed no attention to the button. It popped out when force was applied.

    It actually held the weight of the rifle if it was static.

    Now, I could be owing apologies soon. You guys are making me doubt what I saw and experienced. We'll know soon enough.

    If the gear you're using leaves a lingering question in the back of your mind...Stop using it. Find a better alternative.

    QD forever ruined

    While I agree with using the stock sling swivel on a Non Free floated AR , a QD swivel attached to a Floated rail is the best way to go. Sure you can run a BFG sling loop threaded thru a vent hole in the rail but the weak point becomes the rail anyway. These days most of my rifles are free floated and utilize a front Vltor QD swivel.

    Rogers Super Stoc QD

    I hope it's okay to post this. I looked in the rules and didn't see anything about linking to other sites. At any rate, those with the Rogers Super Stoc need to be aware of this problem and this is a good thread to introduce the problem.

    *UPDATE* 7-24-13

    Gentleman. I have received contact from the manufacturer. The reveal: GG&G. They have made it right. Turns out the issue was my lower. That pocket was not deep enough to fully engage the swivel. They did a test, & could not get it to fail.

    The fault was not theirs. It was mine. Nothing wrong with the parts.

    Despite this, they are still helping me out & exchanging a different endplate for me. They offered me a different one that excepts HK hooks, only asking I pay $5 shipping. Outstanding.

    So. No fault on GG&G. I am still not going to use QD though.

    Good to see you found the solution to your problem. Like you, I don't think I will be using the QDs.

    Another QD failure to report

    this time on the Roger's Super Stoc. I posted this in another thread, but thought I would put it here so those with the Super Stoc would take notice:
