Buyer beware - may not work for your gun

I own a lot of Troy products, but this one has left me shaking my head and $40 poorer. I read the previous reviews about issues using a 3-point wrench on the castle nut, but I've dealt with that before on other products and gotten past it with a little ingenuity. Be aware though, you may not even get that far. In building up an SBR, I purchased the LWRC UCIW stock to reduce additional length. The round QD receiver knobs on this end plate will not allow the buffer tube of the UCIW to screw in to the receiver far enough to capture the buffer detent. I even tried to grind the knobs to get enough clearance to be able to rotate the buffer tube to get enough threaded in to the receiver. You'd have to remove so much metal that there would be no structural integrity. I use my rifles for work and I don't need the rifle coming off the sling during an op. Clearly, others have been able to get this on some rifles as I've seen photos, but if you do buy it, test fit it first and don't try to "smith" it in to place. Just return it and get another SPS mount for half the price.
