DANIEL DEFENSE - QD Rail Mount Swivel for AR-15/M-16 Black Anodized

Locks up tight, great construction and amazing finish

It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Rock solid and the quick release works nicely. The "45 degrees of rotation" in the product description here is an exagerration. It hardly rotates at all but you can set it at 90 degree angles and that's all I need.

I needed one of these for a Daniel Defense rail I installed. Great piece of gear and very well built. Mine came with a 1.25" wide loop unlike the other reviewer but that's what I wanted. The loops are a very sturdy 3/16" thick. The button while easy to use, I would doubt it would release accidentally unless you actually pushed firmly on it. This product does include the Daniel Defense mount for the swivel and that also is well built like all their products. I looked around for replacement swivels only, which would match this swivel and found it at Brownells, (100-003-224.) That "swivel only" unit is made by Midwest Industries and is their heavy duty version. Based on my caliper measurements, it's identical to the Daniel Defense swivel but is more of a matte blue finish instead of parkerized. Both parts I would recommend to others and buy again for myself.

I have to say this is one design that works well for one point and two point slings. The stop points for horizontal and vertical keep tangle problems to a minimum.

I use this to mount a two point sling on my M4 carbine. I like the way it prevents rotation so the sling does not get tangled up. The base locks up tight and stays put.
