Easy and good
Fit was right on. Remove the adjustable stock and slid right on. I did put a dab of blue Loctite on the screw but that's it. Attached 1 point sling and I'm good.

Perfect for single point sling adapter
Well made, easy to install and looks great with the gun. It conceals the unsightly remaining thread of the stock extension. Unlike other adapters on its class, the MI adapter does not add unnescessary bulk leaving a very streamlined format. Absolutely perfect for single point sling. Unbeatable price for its overall quality and workmanship. Deserves 5 star rating.

Couldn't be any more simple
Takes a minute to attach. Solid, won't come loose. Great for single point sling.

Single Point Sling Adapter
This is a great alternative for single point sling attachment for those who do want to have to remove the buffer tube. Mine fits great on my mil-spec tube and is very secure.

Easy Add On
This is a good attachment for someone without the means or know how to swap out the actual end plate. However there are a couple of sharp edges that needed a file and then touched up. the fit is good and as far as being solidly in place I intentionally dropped it while attached to the sling and myself to see if it would move and it held solid.

Just What I Wanted
After I assembled my AR-15 I realized that I wanted a sling mount for the back. Instead of taking the buffer tube and adjustable stock off, I opted to buy this instead. I'm very glad I did! What a cool looking sling adapter! It streamlines the gun and gives it a really nice finished look. It covers the threads of the buffer tube and tightens up around the castle nut to make the gun seem almost like one solid piece. Nice quality material too. My only complaint is that it keeps my Magpul MOE CTR adjustable stock from locking in on the first slot. This really isn't a problem for me, and in no way should it deter you from purchasing this if you're thinking about it. Unless of course you use a Magpul MOE stock on the first slot...

Good if not wanting to remove tube
I picked one up after passing on it a few times and finally gave it a try. It doesn't fit over Phase 5 or KAK pistol brace tubes. Mil-spec & commercial tubes had no issues with installing after removing carbine stock. I originally planned on it for a pistol build, and decided to keep it for another use down the road, but not my 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice for adding QD sling option for receiver plates. I was able to fit it over the pistol tubes after some wrestling, but for what it was designed to do, I preferred other options for myself. I have a few friends that I am sure will want this but I don't plan to buy another. Fit & finish seemed like typical Midwest Industry QC, not better or worse. It is aluminum, so in my opinion, not as strong as a steel product and if rugged and reliable are most important to you, I would use a steel end plate with loops or QD swivel mount like Magpul for more streamlined fitment. (100-015-153) or (100-004-532) as options. Many Carbine stocks now have integrated QD mounts installed but for a pistol build this still could work, just remove tube and buy extra castle nut in case your gets buggered up changing.

Did interfere with stock
I have a dpms panther and the adapter would not let my stock collapse to the shortest setting.[...]
