Will not accept MagPul paraclip sling
This is designed for the AR15 A2 rifle stock. All you need to do is remove stock buffer screw, slide stock off (careful not to lose the rear takedown pin spring) slide adapter on (making sure rear takedown pin spring is seated) and replace stock buffer screw. It is very easy, however the adapter works only with the H&K claw type sling. The sling attachment loop is too thick for the MagPul paraclip. If you already have the MagPul MS sling w/ attachments you'll want to look else where for a difficult to find part as 99% of the adapters are for the M4 carbine.
Quality Machined Sling Mount
I was pleasantly surprised upon receiving my Brownells AR single point sling mount. This is the real deal! Thick solid steel construction that was thoughtfully engineered to look great and work perfectly. I mounted this on my A2 style AR15, which is an Oly Arms MPR, and it now looks like the sling mount was OEM from the factory. The finish matches the metal upper receiver very well. Very easy installation, no interference with the charging handle and I'm glad I ordered this product. This is not the cheap aluminum mounts that are sold and in time, DO NOT hold up. I feel confident that this mount will last the life of the rifle.
Almost perfect
Finally an A2 stock sling plate for left handed shooters! Fit is near perfect. Steel construction instead of aluminum, very heavy duty. The only compliant is you can not use a QD push button release sling even though they say you can. The eye is too close to the stock. Works great with a HK snap hook release sling though. Very pleased.
