So i have a couple AR's, and thus far I've liked the magpul ASAP plate for the most part.  But as I am building another AR, and using the previous ones more, I have a major gripe about it.

As I was tightening down the castle nut with my wrench, It started sliipping and seemed to bend the nut slightly.  This happened on previous builds and i just assumed it was because the wrench i bought was kinda cheap, and i dropped it or whatever.

But looking more closely, I notice the way the ASAP plate sits, you only get about 200 degrees of free space where you can have the wrench seated properly.  Considering the wrench uses 3 points spanning 180 degrees, you really cannot tighten the castle nut well.  So when i was tightening, the plate pushes the wrench away from the nut, causing less contact and resulting in the stripping of the nut.  

anyone else notice this?  comments, suggestions, alternative 1-point sling attachments you prefer (not the QD button ones though, don't want to buy another sling).

I went ahead and staked it at two places, i dont think it'll come loose (they haven't yet) but still disappointed

both the same picture just trying to figure out how to best post pics.

Can you modify the wrench to fit under problem area? Or try a small strap wrench.Or an extended  castle nut.  And last but not least use a spacer before the nut.

those look like a good option.  Didn't know they existed.  may order a couple and replace the normal ones some point in future

Magpul multi tool will work best for tightening.  Other wrenches are a bit short.
