Nebwake Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I picked up a vickers CAG QD mount sling for a deal locally, and now need to set up a few rifles with QD sockets. First off, I have not used QD mounts before and am a little skeptical about them. Has anyone had any problems with them falling out? I have had sling hardware break on me overseas and that is a pain in the ass. I would hate to have a personal gun deck out because of a sling. second, what sockets work the best? I am thinking about replacing the m-4 backplate with a QD socket for the rear and using the AP Customs one that fits my hand guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy27al Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 QD is far and away a better system. I used them extensively back when I shot precision rifle matches regularly. They are easier to take on and off and are also slightly more useful as they have a full range of motion.

Nebwake Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Any experiance with the uncle mikes sockets that epoxy into the stock? Luth AR recommends them for their stocks, but I am a little leery of just epoxy holding the sling on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy27al Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I am not sure on that one. Both sets of QD mounts came in the stock I was using at the time. The first a Manners and the second a Rock Solid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Shooters Source sells QD inserts that have nuts on the back side. They require a hole with rear access(my favorite kind) I think they list them under shotguns. They are similar to the ones that Remington uses on the Versamax Comp. It sounds like the ones mentioned are for blind holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Perfect, just what I was looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I just ordered the uncle Mikes for my 870. Order quality QDs. I got a cheap one from Amazon that does not hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
