Default Attaching sling end plate

Since we don't have a removable buffer tube, how is are the sling end plates attached to the rifle? I've been looking at one, Magpul ASAP in particular, and see that most of them sandwiched between the receiver and the nut on the buffer tube.

You have 2 options ---- drill out the receiver and install a QD like on the MOE ---- or install a modular unit that tightens down on the buffer tube.

I've got the MOE and don't like how I feel tangled when switching between arms. That's why I was looking at the ASAP because then the hook will slide back and forth.

I have the MCTAR-30 from MI. I looked at the different options for awhile before settling on this one. I think it was a good choice, the swivel helps stop tangling.

Tactical Link makes something similar that mounts on the buffer extension and has a centered anchor point.

I went with the MI MCTAR-13 because I have it mounted on my FS MSR's and it works very well. No gingle tingle rattle noises from a "loop" sliding back and forth.

Got it in today! Installed in about a minute. So far I love it! Fits great and I love having the option of single or double. Here's a couple pics...
