    I have the VCAS attached like Shivan and have had no problems switching rifle to either shoulder and no problem transitioning to a pistol, I actually don't drop my arm through the sling at all. With the rear sling attachment to the right side of the rear of the stock (for a right handed shooter).

    I think if you cant do the transition to the support shoulder the sling is too short. Putting the attachment point on the outside of the rear of the stock mitigates the sling around your throat.

It is the primary reason I opted for the end of the stock using a KAC QD mount.

    His commentary in the second video about using the rear of the receiver is the secondary reason why I prefer the end of the stock. I like that my setup holds tight to my body, no matter if I throw it beside my non-dominant hip, twist it behind my hip like Pat Rogers teaches, or if I just drop it in place.

    Here is my SBR with the padded VCAS. The padding seems to make a difference; the rifle hangs vertical and close with little effort.

    This is also what I do.

    Like the DD receiver QD mount, I have one too since I tested that method first - after switching from single point. I think the weight of the carbine/weapon makes a difference, as well as the balance of the weapon itself.

    I use a padded VCAS on the 16" AR-10 seen here:


    and I push the DD rail QD out a little to help it balance and lay flat, muzzle down to keep my hands free for binos, laser RF, or other tasks.

    Fortunately, there is no anticipation of transitions with the heavier 22" AR-10, and less options for end of the stock QD mounts, so I went with this TD unit:


    It moved more, but balanced Ok due to a large amount of muzzle weight vs. stock weight. (Balance)
