THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Will the Magpul ASAP ambidextrous sling mount ( http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Magpul-ASAP-Ambidextrous-Sling-Attachment-Point-p/mag500.htm ) replace my receiver end-plate or will it some how cover it? |

I know it's not what you asked but I would highly reccomend the ikickhippies slap plate over the ASAP simply because there are no moving or rattling parts and it can be used one handed. I replaced my ASAP as soon as I found the ikh. Just my $.02

I have the ASAP plate and like it, but that ring does get stuck in the way sometimes when you try to put the stock all the way in.
If I wasn't so lazy I would probably get the other one to replace it  |

How prone is that ikickhippies plate to bending? Doesn't look like there's a whole lot there...

I had the IKH SLAP and liked it except for the fact that its edges are pretty sharp, and they rubbed on my hand. I went back to the ASAP.

I also had a an ASAP, I didnt' like the rattling ring either or that microscopic index pin. I was trying to take off my flash hider by hand and had the stock in between my legs and ended up shearing the threads off my buffer tube with that index tube while twisting on the FH. I was shocked how easily it did that so I bought the UBR which takes a whole new view on collapsible stocks.

Just beware of potential binding in the corners with these types of plates. We looked at this production method (single bent plate) before we developed the ASAP and instead went with a ring to allow a smooth, uninhibited swing. |

I have been using the ASAP recently with a modified MS3 and I am liking it very much.

Can't have that ASAP plate rattling when you're sneaking up on taliban at the local shooting range
If you actually use your rifle, you'll never notice it. Doesn't make noise when slung, and it makes less noise than running, getting behind cover, and your rifle firing. |

Regardless of what you use, there is metal to metal contact somewhere, and if you keep tension in the sling, you won't have noise. The smoothness that the ASAP provides makes it the winner for me. I don't usually notice the sling noise over the report of the rifle, but maybe I just have bad hearing. |

If you were gonna "sneak up on the Taliban" why not wrap the ring up in some tape? It might be ugly but it wouldn't rattle. Once the rounds start flying no one is gonna hear it anyways.
Also the rattle isn't that loud anyways, if they can hear it your moving fast enough they will hear something else anyways. I have the ASAP on three rifles and I love it. |

Maybe I'm crazy but I got a Tactical Link Z-360 and put a Midwest Ind. Flush sling swivel on it.

Yea, I have to say that I have no issues with my ASP's rattling either. I guess the ratting may be but slightly muffled by the "GUNFIRE"!

I'm sure most of arfcom's beer guts and suspenders make more noise than an ASAP plate. If not that, the electric motor scooters sure do 
Beyond that, I've never heard anyone chew beef jerky any quieter than the noise an ASAP plate makes too. Pretty much covers it. |

I found the slight rattle a tad annoying as well (call it a pet-peeve, I'm not planning on sneaking up on paper targets) so I simply used a bit of 550 cord and made a silent loop for my ASAP. After this pic was taken, I hack-sawed the rattle ring off very easily. Took about 15 seconds.
