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.

What Reviewers Are Saying

However, some highlighted challenges like the difficulty in using the 'locking nugget' and issues with tightness based on previous stake marks on the buffer tube, showing variability in user experience during installation.

quality at a cost

This is a quality product and a good option. For those in the military be aware of noise discipline, as it is essentially a chain link. Fair warning when you install this. Where the link hooks on makes it hard to properly seat an armorers wrench to tighten the castle nut holding the buffer tube on. I use the Brownells brand wrench so it is pretty thick, maybe a thinner wrench would have worked better. I was being careless and gouged my buffer tube pretty good. I probably would look for an alternative system knowing what I know now.

Good concept

I do like this setup, but it could stand some tweaking. Works very well for transitioning from one side to the other, but it's a bit noisy and not compatible with (surprisingly) some magpul stocks when completely collapsed. Using an ACS stock the sliding ring will only allow the stock to completely collapse when fully off to one side or the other, where it will remain trapped by the front of the stock. If you aren't a stubby little guy like me and normally run the stock extended at least one notch it won't cause you any trouble.
