Good if not wanting to remove tube

I picked one up after passing on it a few times and finally gave it a try. It doesn't fit over Phase 5 or KAK pistol brace tubes. Mil-spec & commercial tubes had no issues with installing after removing carbine stock. I originally planned on it for a pistol build, and decided to keep it for another use down the road, but not my 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice for adding QD sling option for receiver plates. I was able to fit it over the pistol tubes after some wrestling, but for what it was designed to do, I preferred other options for myself. I have a few friends that I am sure will want this but I don't plan to buy another. Fit & finish seemed like typical Midwest Industry QC, not better or worse. It is aluminum, so in my opinion, not as strong as a steel product and if rugged and reliable are most important to you, I would use a steel end plate with loops or QD swivel mount like Magpul for more streamlined fitment. (100-015-153) or (100-004-532) as options. Many Carbine stocks now have integrated QD mounts installed but for a pistol build this still could work, just remove tube and buy extra castle nut in case your gets buggered up changing.
