Does anyone have the Magpul MOE carbine length hand guard with the QD sling point? If so,-- How is it holding up, is the Magpul MOE hand guard rugged and is the sling point option likewise will it take a lot of stress and wear ..... ? Does the sling point work with other brand QD swivels (Are they all standard)....curious....

I've been using Magpul MOE handguards exclusively (I'm a cheap bastard and they do everything I need from a handguard) for the past few years and have experienced 0 problems (although cosmetically they've picked up their share of nicks, scratches & dings from classes and such).
Two of my AR's have the IWC sling swivel mount and to date they've also been 100%, working w/several different brands of sling swivels (I've started using Magpul's MSA QD sling swivel mount instead).
Now, I haven't tried supporting my weight on it while hanging off a 20-story roof, but the weak point is actually the sling swivel itself as a cheap one will fail long before the IWC sling swivel mount does (it's pricey, but I use Magpul's QDM swivel, rated at 500lbs).
HTH...
