What brand is the sling?
Is this a complete Anderson rifle or is the handguard from a different manufacturer? |

I have an Anderson AM-15. The buttstock has a standard QD attachment point (hole). The handguard is an A2 style with rows of top and bottom vent holes for heat. The gas block in front of the handguard has a rail on top but no QD attachment point. Not sure what you are referring to. A picture would help.

Yeah I just looked through the whole Anderson rifle lineup and don't see any of their rails having a QD hole for a sling. A picture would help us out.

I think it is a manufacturing issue.
I have an Anderson stock on a complete Anderson lower build. 100% Anderson parts. EVERY quick release swivel I have tried pulls out as soon as you put weight on it. I have tried swivels from many different manufacturers. I am beginning to think the hole is just too big. Probably will replace the stock. While Anderson lowers are okay, I can see why their component parts are so cheap........because they are so cheap. |

Sounds like the opening is not for a QD attachment.

A photo of the rifle upper, especially the "QD socket" and a good bit of the receiver and rail would be helpful.
It might just need a new aftermarket rail mounted QD socket. Many rails simply don't have one. Here's one from Magpul you can mount anywhere on a picatinny rail. I'm sure there are similar ones for M-Loc and Keymod.

If your rail has m-lok slots, I like these:

Quote HistoryQuoted: So what was the deal? the hole in his handguard is likely just one of those holes that "look like" a QD attached point. |

Whenever possible, I prefer to drill the hole out to the appropriate diameter, tap threads and screw in a GrovTec sling swivel base with some Loktite. Just be sure the hole diameter will not cause any issues and depth of the socket base will not touch the barrel.
