Does anyone have this configuration? Do you have any pix? Thanks

Clipped to a QD and a modified one. Pay no attention to the crappy stitching.....a local shoe repair shop did it and they were not too concerned with attention to detail. I use that one because most of my other rifles have Noveske QD rear plates, so I can switch the sling off. (Somebody here posted this mod - so I tried it.) This would be nice if there was a factory replacement like this; i.e. choice of rear clip or QD.

This is exactly the UBR-compatible sling that Travis was describing this past summer during a Dynamic Carbine class that I attended. |
I like the combination better than the MS2 with the ASAP. Clipping the MS2 to a QD then to the stock or receiver creates an additional failure point (not that they fail, but no need to add an additional possibility). Of course I can see why they wouldn't do it since it would promote the Noveske plate rather than the ASAP. They could market it as a MS4, UBR compatible sling. 
Plus, it would save me (and it's all about me, right) some time and money looking for a shop that can do the mod with a little more attention to detail.

I popped out the QD socket and went to the hardware store and picked up about 8 washers, a nut, and an I-bolt. I opened up the Ibolt with a punch so the MS2 hook would fit and be able to quick disconnect. Then I threaded the nut on to the end of the threads on the ibolt, then 4 washers, then stuck the bolt into the socket and washers/nut on the backside and tightened it down.
It works good.. its solid.. and will do until Magpul makes an ASAP for the UBR. |
