This is my first post after having lurked on here more times that I care to mention while building my rifle. I slapped a complete Windham Weaponry upper on an lower I put together out of parts. I decided that I wanted to go fixed stock, but with a carbine tube in case I choose to change it later. I ended up with a magpul FCS (Fixed Carbine Stock). As an AR noob I'm now thinking of all the things you don't think about when you build your first rifle, like quality sling mounts. The FCS comes with integral loops, and the option to put a magpul QD point kit in the stock. My stock is ASAP compatible, but I'm not that big of a fan. Heard of more than a few breaking both in use and during staking. Plenty of ACTS guys at the local range when asked recommended the SLAP plate from "I Kick Hippies" over it. Problem is, I cannot find specs for it anywhere as to whether or not it fits the FCS with the ASAP adapter installed.
Please help me. If you do not have an FCS, but do have the IKH SLAP plate, please post a photo with calipers or a tape measure showing how far it extends from the receiver. If you just so happen to have that plate with an FCS I would love your opinion on it and to hear how it works for you. Looking at google images it appears to be a close fit just eyeballing it. I can always install a VLTOR SASE plate, but I would prefer to not have a sling loop protruding from the side of my receiver if possible. I have no intention of switching from HK hooks to QD mounts. I already have a two point sling rigged with hooks that I really like.

Thanks for the help ahead of time. I'm sick and tired of rigging this thing.
