I don't own one, but I don't like the fact that the mounting bolt is straight slot. I would prefer hex head and wouldn't want to spend the extra time to hunt down a replacement bolt.
Other than that, seems fine. I've never seen a bad/poorly made MAGPUL product.

I received mine two weeks ago in the mail, after waiting almost a year for it. It's definitely a hefty piece, very well made and you would never have to worry about breaking it. The finish is wearing a very little bit on the inside of the loop. But thats to be expected on a high wear/friction item. It's nothing major.
If you have the matching Magpul MS2 sling, you need this piece.
Before the RSA came out I bought a cheap, clamp on sling swivel. It was way too big for the "front clamp" on the MS2, making for a very sloppy sling attachment.
However, the RSA works perfectly for the two point configuration. Just enough movement/rotation when you are moving the rifle. That being said since the sling clip can rotate slightly, you can't put rail guards right up tight to mount. Theres a video on YouTube that explains what I mean, just type in Magpul RSA.
Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. I love Magpul products and would definitely buy another when I get an AR.

Like Belt Fed said, they use slotted heads so you can use a quarter, a knife blade, the flat blade screwdriver on your multitool, anything on hand to get it off and out of the way or clamped down tight.
