ASAP® AMBIDEXTROUS SLING ATTACHMENT POINT FOR AR-15

ASAP® AMBIDEXTROUS SLING ATTACHMENT POINT FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

The ASAP - Ambidextrous Sling Attachment Point allows a range of motion greater than 180 degrees, enabling true ambidextrous weapon manipulation for both left and right handed shooters. The ASAP replaces the standard AR15/M4 carbine stock receiver end plate, providing a tactical advantage by minimizing sling snagging and facilitating easy transition to and from weapon and reaction side shoulders. The ASAP works with one-point type slings with snap hook style attachments such as the Magpul Paraclip™ and MS3® Sling GEN2.


Made from precision cast steel with a QPQ salt bath nitrided finish for wear and corrosion resistance, the ASAP has a durable welded-link ring and is compatible with both Mil-Spec and Commercial-Spec carbine receiver extensions (buffer tubes). The ASAP has been proven to withstand stress tests of over 300lbs.


Made in the USA

NOTE: When the Castle Nut is properly torqued, staking is not required. However, if staking is desired, it is strongly recommended that it be done by a certified armorer or competent gunsmith. The extremely hard surface of the ASAP increases the difficulty of staking and the likelihood of damage during the procedure.

Hard to install
Definitely the worst Magpul product I have ever purchased. I couldn't get the "locking nugget" into the end plate. Ended up dropping and losing it. The rest ended up in the garbage and me in search of some blood pressure medicine.

Not easy to get on right
Buttstock wrenches cant get enough bite to apply right pressure to lock in place and if someone doesnt put key in right you will need a thread file to fix destruction of threads on buttstock tube . Be carefull in what you choose , and ask yourself " do I really need my sling to get caught up on my rifle ? "

OK, but noisy
This ok, but I don't like how the ring slides around. Noisy + feels unsecure since in single point mode the rifle wants to flop over/down as the ring doesn't hold position, if that makes sense. There is another Ambi Sling Connector that Brownell's sells that works better, quieter + still allows the transitions from shoulder to shoulder. It works much better than this one, in my opinion.
