    Depends on the person and the type of gear that they may or may not be using. For myself I like both options. I primarily run the attachment at the end plate. Keeps the rifle higher and I am more easily able to pull off a transition to the support side with this connection point. However the rifle is less stable for other things.

    With it attached at the stock, I have a harder time transitioning and the rifle sits lower on my front. However when I want to cinch down the rifle to my body there is more control of the rifle. This is beneficial for climbing and rappelling. There are other reasons also but these are my main points. I like the ability of having the options available to suit my needs.

    I'm partial to the QD cups on my UBRs. For the rifles that don't have the forward QD mounts, I like Noveske's end plate, but better even is Magpul's ASAP plate.

    I Kick Hippies (http://www.ikickhippies.com/) has a caveman-simple mount that works well, too.

    I run Noveske QD endplates on all my guns.

    That's where I like mine, but it really is a preference thing. I absolutely do NOT like the QD thingies... That's just my preference. I use Paracord instead... quieter and not mechanical.

    I use the Magpul ASAP. It keeps the rifle up higher and isn't nearly as finnicky as the QD snaps. Just my personal opinion.
    A man with a gun is a citizen. A man without a gun is a subject.

    I like the rear of the stock. I like the Noveske QD end plates too.

    An old school grunt that carried an M203 for most of my eleven years, I used the V sling in the front sight and the sling looped around the stock.

    I can't get used to single point slings, so I use a two way with QD mounts on the left side rear and left side front at the beginning of the rail. That fits me the best, but each individual will likely have their own way that's comfortable.
