Customer's Choice

A Clent had me build an AR45 w/4in barrel. All of the Client's ARs, MP5, and SBRs all use a Troy QD sling mount. This is a quality piece of engineering. Though, Ipersonally, do not use QD sling mounts they are 1st rate.

They work fine!

No Sir, my experience with this Troy sling mount is very good. I have used it on mil spec tubes, commercial tubes, and pistol only tubes. This mount worked on all of them. I used the Rock River 3 point wrench to tighten the nut. Those that have complained that it didn't work must of had a tube with shorter then normal threads. It works great. Mine has the attachment points on both sides and one in the middle. I couldn't ask for better

Another great product from Troy!

After reading some of the other reviews, I was a little hesitant about ordering this. I'm not a fan of "minor modification required". After disassembly I test fit every thing just to be sure and there was adequate clearance where needed and no excess where not. I installed this on my FN15 in about 15 minutes total and love it. Works great with the Troy single point sling. NOTE: There must be an updated version as the one I received has a third connection point at the bottom rear of part (where the print is in the photo).

Quality part

Quality product from a quality manufacturer. I really like the option of mounting sling on either side. This product is also compatible with Magpul STR stock allowing quick detach swivel from end plate to mount directly onto stock attachment point

Great product, no install issues

This endplate looks great and was easy to install. I had zero issues using the Rock River M4 Stock Wrench (brownells# AR0165)to tighten down the castle nut with this endplate. Can't wait to put a sling on this bad boy...
