ASAP® AMBIDEXTROUS SLING ATTACHMENT POINT FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

Product is nice. Strong and reliable. However, if your sling is not consistently attached there will be a dangling noise. Might be a bother if your goal is to be quite. Also if your are running a law tactical folding stock, you will not be able to complete a fold due to contact interference. Unless modified which I was able to due with some grinding. But realized I didn't like the noise it produced. Again nothing wrong with the product. These are just two things I ran into which would prevent me for having any use for it.

great product by MAGPUL! only complaint I have is that it can get a little noisy when moving the firearm around. works great with my Magpul sling.

This works perfectly with the MS3 Multi mission sling. It's a great solution for those of us that shoot an AR-10, 15 or M4 left handed. This is a great product and the only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because the attachment ring sounds like a church bell when there is no sling attached to it. It literally screams, "Here I am!". If Magpul could find a way to put a rubberized coating on it to keep it silent, then it would be the perfect sling adapter for me. Right now I have a piece of black paracord tied to the bar holding the ring in a position so it can't make any noise. Great product that needs just one small upgrade. Perfect if noise isn't a factor or stealth isn't paramount.

Awesome piece of great, works great with Magpuls MS3 sling. Installation was a snap, prepared myself for the worst , watched a couple " how to videos " on youtube... had it on less than 15 minutes . Without the sling attached, the ASAP is little loud.. maybe if the ring was rubber coated ?

I installed this over the weekend, and I have just one gripe. I spent more time fiddling with the stupid key trying to get it seated in the slot. Hey Magpul, why didn't you design TWO different versions (commercial and military) instead of having us mess around with the stupid key design? I finally got it, but not before about 10 minutes of cursing. God forbid you have to take it apart in the field and lose the key.

Several previous reviewers have touched on the major points. A pair of forceps was very handy when installing the little "key" piece. About the wrench issue: I used Brownell's' 4-point wrench to torque down the castle nut, you just angle it out a little to clear the mount area and no problem. Using Brownell's' lower vise block in a sturdy vise was a big help. The Magpul MMS (Multi-Mission Sling) works great with this ambi-point. With your sling attached there's no more noise than with any other sling mount. If you must be stealthy with no sling I'm sure a piece of black duct tape will take care of it.

I ordered this Magpul ASAP Sling Attachment specifically for review for my fellow firearm enthusiasts. I installed this on my custom built Dissipator style rifle. It was very simple and easy to install and required little or no effort to make it fit correctly against the receiver. The only issue I ran into was tighting the castle nut. The wrench I was using could only grab 3 teeth on the nut, due to how far out the link rail sits. I just carfully tightened the castle nut and that worked fine. The attachment itself is very heavy duty and it shows. It has very thick weld points preventing the attachment from ever breaking under extreme pressure. The finish is good quality, but a little rough like a fine grit sand paper. The link that the actual sling attaches to is also made heavy duty. The link is quite noisy when not attached to the sling supporting the weight of the rifle. Other than that, it worked flawlessly and easily moved from side to side. I know others complained of their stocks not closing, but my Magpul MOE stock fully collapsed with no problems. The one major flaw that I did not like, is that this sling attachment will NOT work with the Magpul's own UBR stock. I know the UBR stock has sling attachments built in, but I wanted the ASAP to be able to move freely from side to side. When I tried to install the buffer tube that was inlcuded with the UBR stock, due to the thickness of the ASAP attachment, it would not screw in far enough to engage the buffer retainer. I was dissapointed, but just put it on my other AR-15 with the MOE stock. Looks great and works great on there. Overall I would recommend for the tactical shooter....would also work great for hunters.

Very popular addition to our house-built AR-15 rifles, and custom option with customers that want a single-point sling attachment point. Simple to install, can be tricky the first couple times but some plastic tweezers will help set the alignment pin in place without pulling it back out like steel tweezers have a tendency to do. The only downside is there is a little more rotational play in the receiver extension before the castle nut is secured. Install the actual buttstock to ensure straight alignment, I've put a couple on only to discover the stock was obviously canted off of the centerline. Another issue is it can be difficult to tighten your castle nut with a wrench that interfaces with 3 notches at once. I use the old CAR-style wrench with the single tooth and have no problems.

Im sad that this did not fit my P308 16.5" carbine. Its a Magpul item, tough as nails but wont squeeze on that 308 frame.

Easy to install. Good product. Didn't like the small metal "key"
