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.

Quality
Works great. Quite useable. Very solid construction. Excellent installation instructions. The only thing that I didn't consider was that the attachment ring rattles.
5
Excellent!
Solid construction and fairly simple installation. It lets you very smoothly slide your sling from right handed to left handed and is very good at it. The only complaint I would have is that it is a little noisy at times, but that is no draw back for me. I highly recommend this!

good reciever endplate
this is a very good product but I want to mention some things that no one else has. that little key seems to be a challenge for some people. it is not if the gun is held in a vise with a magwell vise adapter. good needle nose pliers are a must also. that said I always use the big key I simply file it until it fits tight. think about it. I have installed a bunch of these. I just put one on a sig 516 I simply cut the tabs off the side and filed the remaining metal flush. it wound up fitting better than the original endplate.im going to include a couple pictures of the sig I just did today. anyone out there reading the negative reviews of this product needs to realize not everyone has the skill level or mindset to do this type of work. sometimes you think outside the box so to speak. magpul products are top of the line and we should be very appreciative of their dedication and commitment to the shooting sports military and second amendment.

Worth the Mildly Difficult Installation
This is a well-made, quality item. The only real issue in installing this part for me is putting it on rifles that have previously-staked factory (Young-Horse brand, in particular) plates; If the staking was done 'firmly', the original plate may be distorted by the staking into an oval shape on the inside, which binds it and does not allow it to slide freely back on the buffer tube once the castle nut is removed (by the proper tool and a couple of whacks with a rubber mallet). This provides no clearance for the detent spring to be removed safely before turning out the tube, thus making it impossible not to shear/kink the spring. Best order a new detent spring to go along with this item. I did find that a magazine-well fixture block made installation much easier, along with a pair of smooth forceps for the wedge. I would suggest to MagPul that they make two different plates with integral tangs, one for Military and one for Civilian tubes, and forego the separate wedge in future; It's a fiddly bit, easily lost.

Ambi Sling Attachment Point
Very easy to install and works great! With this attachment it makes transitioning from one hand to the other without detaching my sling.
5
Well built, very functional.
I have mounted this items on a few guns now including my own. Works extremely well especially with the Magpul MS2 sling. I have had no complaints from any of my customers nor do I have any myself. Great item.

Good for the Price!
I've used mine for awhile now and I cannot complain. I've heard some people complain about the noise when the sling is not attached but it's very low and I dont mind at all.
