    Location preference for rear sling mount

    Guys, new to the AR platform and just wanted your opinion. Picked up the DDM4 V5 last week and was wanting to know your preference for a rear sling mount? The DDM4 that I bought came with the rear QD swival attachment point but I can also attach to the rear buttstock (Magpul stock). What do you guys prefer? Sorry, if this is a newbie question but...Hey, I'm a newbie.

    I prefer using the outside qd socket on the stock myself, so I dont choke myself on weak side transitions but try them all and use whatever works best for you.

    I like the Noveske end plate with the QD swivel mount. it brings the rifle up a little closer to my chest so it doesn't hang so low with a one-point.

    Magpul ASAP gives me the most flexibility for ambi shooting but they're not for everyone. I think they're great.

    You will have to answer this question yourself through shakedowns in training classes. Everyone is different and it may even change for you as you evolve. Pick a place, shake it down in a class, and see if it works. What works for me may not work for you. In a class you'll see slings mounted a variety of ways.

    I'm partial to the Tactical Link Z360 QD mount. If your castle nut is properly staked especially, the Tactical Link mount requires no gunsmithing - no UN-staking!

    Well as mentioned above, it's completely subjective to the end-user, but I think you'll find that the majority of folks prefer using the endplate as a rear-attachment point. Having said that, I'm a huge fan of the IKH SLAP.

    I like an endplate mount, but it is all about what works best for YOU.

    I use the exact mount you have. I love it. Run the gun in a decent car class and your questions will be answered.
