Solidly-built sling adapter
Solid construction, correct size, easy to install. This went on the rail of an AR 15-22 rifle.
Great QD sling mount
It quickly attached to my KS12T's supplied rails and gives me the ability to attach a sling due to the QD holes on the KS12T plastic rail's do not retain a QD sling swivel. It's heavy duty which will last and you will not have to worry about break down's. It will accept other brands of QD swivels I have installed on other slings. It is supplied with an allen wrench to install to a rail.
Solid
The unit is soild. I put a little break free on it for lubrication and it ran silently. I mounted it on my M4 type carbine's for end as a side mount, I used it with a Blue Force gear Vickers sling. The sling has a tendancy to cause the swivel to turn 180. It's a bit annoying. I give it 5 stars, because it fit and held wonderfully. I was doing drills that caused me to go prone and sprint. No problems with the mount. During instalation, the screw tightened properly and I didnt have to worry about stripping the threads in the aluminum. MI makes quality products.
Milspec Quality QD Solution
Mounted on M4. Only rotates 180 so it keeps sling correctly orientated. Very heavy duty, perhaps even overkill (every ounce counts!). Could easily be used on M249 or other GPMG due to strength. Release requires firm push to activate, which is great!
Quality piece of gear
I use this on my AR and it is excellent. Stays in place when you need it to, yet easily removed when you want it off.
Midwest Stud Sling Adapter
I use this to hold the front sling swivel, and sling, to my M&P 15-22. It is a great design though it appears minimalistic from the catalog photo. It is a two piece clamping design so one can add it to the rail from the side rather than the rail ends required of one piece designs. While small, it does an excellent job in anchoring the front of the sling to the rifle rail. It looks good, is well made and is perfect for my application.
Very well made
Very robust, well made and the quick disconnect isnt exactly quick, but i would prefer it that way as it does not come out easily.
Functional and Economical
I use this with the excellent VTAC Adjustable Two Point Sling (100-002-868) and an Uncle Mikes Sling Swivel. It takes up very little real estate on the rail, it's very light weight, and does exactly what I need it to do: provide a sturdy sling attachment point. Economical, practical, functional, and reliable.
