Quoted: When the stock is fully closed is the release button partially depressed? With that particular QD swivel (Knights) yes. But it is not going anywhere with the stock locked in the closed position. I am not sure about other swivels as that is my only one. |

Ok this puts me in a dilemma. Do I want this or a Magpul ASAP? Or Cross Tac who debuted on the board with their ambi sling connector. http://www.crosstac.com/vmchk/AR-15-Accessories/Ambi-Sling-Connector.html I own the Cross Tac but I like the swivel idea.

I bought a Noveske end plate from Rainier. I am a minimalist, so this concept should work well for me.

When the stock is fully closed is the release button partially depressed? On my setup, Magpul CTR stock and Vltor QD swivel, the swivel button is depressed about two thirds of the way in by the stock when it's fully closed. It's not enough to disengage the swivel, however.

I have a question: When installing one of these, do you have to restake this new endplate for the castle nut? From he pictures it looks like people did not do this. How do you keep the castle nut from coming loose?

You really should however. |

I have basically the exact same design from daniel defense, love it best and easiest way to mount a sling IMHO http://www.danieldefense.com/img/product/832c0aa788cc8507e8304bdab99169ca.jpg I have both. The DD version is very different. It doesn't allow the stock to close completely. Look at the depth of the DD design vs. the Noveske. The Noveske is flat, low profile, and allows the stock to completely collapse. I have 3 lowers with the DD unit and all 3 SOPMODS close all the down. |

Anybody? Doesn't work on my Sendra RR as well (and Sendra converted old Bushmasters if I am no mistaken). To get around that, I took a regular end plate, drilled a big hole through it, installed it first, then installed the Noveske end plate. You don't notice that my lower has two end plates, unless you are looking for it. |

here is a pic.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/blkdawg/IMG_1938.jpg as you can see it's oval and not round. I'm surprised nobody knows about this, but after looking through pages of picture threads. There are lots of ar-15 with this type of plate. I was wondering if this is a type of variation for lower receiver. |

The end plate is typically oval. Nothing special about that. I don't know about bushmaster.. but I wouldn't have thought they would make a customized one for only their lowers.. wouldn't make sense to me, but who knows.
Is you detent spring getting caught when installing the Noveske plate? Possibly the hole in the lower isn't deep enough?. |

The Noveski Minimalist replaced my endplate with no problem and works well, great idea.
Now I just need to make my Blackhawn single point bungee sling fit onto a QD male connector without the hook thing going into a regular 1.25" sling loop. (Or ger another single pont sling) Any suggertions? |

As you can see, the hole is much deeper, and round. This is how my pof, RRA, and Noveske lowers are. I think I have a bushmaster kickin' around somewhere. I'll check it next time I see it. |

It's a good reason to sell that preban Bushmaster lower to someone who's stuck behind enemy lines, and get a brand spanking new one that would fit the endplate properly + a whole bunch of other goodies instead :)
