I have them on some of my AR's, but only for a single point. I also have QD mounts on the stock. The only single point slings I have are the Magpuls that convert from 2 point to single point.

I like them as an option.
I have a BFG 2 point sling that converts to a single point. I just like options and the QD end plates allow that. |

Rather have the qd socket in the stock.
Personal preference is all it is. |

You can get your sling ends close to act more like a single point sling without some of the negatives of single point slings. Either plate and stock or plate and handguard/rail.
I use qd points on the stock and as far forward on the rifle as possible for stability when shooting. |

Like others have said, it's nice to have that option. Easy and inexpensive upgrade. Lots of good products to choose from.

Ok, if I buy one or two....are those all created equal or do I need to pay 5-10x the price for brand names?
Thanks |

I like the endplate for single points on pistols and sbr. I like the stock for a QD 2 point on my carbines.

Damage industries qd sockets are proprietary to their qd swivels, I use iwc, and noveske which have worked with all my swivels

i prefer 2-point using end-plate because it raises the whole firearm higher, particularly important for average size guys carrying 16" with can
only hassle with end-plate carry is the swivel & sling can get in the way of accessing the grip in a rush |

The BCM is cheap snd good quality. I have had no issue with 7075 QD plates from V7 either. I would not run 6061.

if you go the QD route, just make sure and give it a good twist and tug before you trust the lock up.
every once in awhile i forgot to rotate the QD to make sure its locked in with the detent balls. that is my only complaint about QD stuff. never had one sneak once its inserted properly though. |

Tried the end plate for a bit. Hated it. Kinda seems like a relic of back when guys thought single-point slings were a good idea

I found it to be pretty impractical. Side socket on the rear of a buttstock works perfectly |

Stock it allows the rifle to hang over your shoulder a lot better. Generally, if the sling points are on opposing ends, you'll have more stability.

Yah. thats what I was doing. I found it to be pretty impractical. Particularly with my work gun. I figured to give it a whirl for off handed shooting just to see. It really didn't work out for me. Especially when it came time to shoulder a rifle quickly, without trying to fuck with the sling, or having the sling flopping around in weird places. Side socket on the rear of a buttstock works perfectly I've seen a lot of people start mounting their rear sling point on their dominant hand side. For example, right handed shooter has their rear sling QD attached to the right side of the stock. I'm pretty sure the argument is that when you switch shoulders, you get an extra 2-3 inches of sling. |
