These arent the videos that are going to get a million views, but these are so clear and helpful for those that need them. Thank you Magpul for making these short, informative videos.
Extremely helpful with both connection points and types of clips, adapters, etc. especially for stock AR’s that have few attachment points. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in an easy to understand format.
Bravo Magpul for the explanation series! I am sure many folks will benefit from how the parts were intended to be used. I think y’all are on the right track with these series….smart.❤
I have an acs-l stock on my ar. After investigating, I found i needed a type 3 qd mount. They are out of stock everywhere and some sites say its been discontinued. I contacted magpul and explained my situation. They said they would send the type 3 to me at no cost. Before I received anything, I checked the box that my acs-l came in and don't you know I found a type 3 in the box! I attached it to my stock and it works fine. I got the package from magpul a couple of days later and they sent me not one, not two, not three, but FOUR type 3 mounts! That's what I call great customer service. I purchased a ms-4 gen 2 sling and it's the best sling I've owned.
Thanks for the quality informative videos. I've been a fan of your simple, durable, US-made hardware for years, and plan to be a customer for life. A personal note, while I started using QD socket attachments for all my slings, I'm now leaning toward the paraclip hooks instead, for several reasons: 1) They have less small moving parts that could fail, and if a part does break or wear out you can see it immediately (this also makes them cheaper); 2) Theres no hole that can be fouled with dirt, sand, or lint making your attachment inoperable, and it's also less prone to false attachment where it looks like it's secure but the bearings aren't actually engaged in the slots; 3) If your sling breaks, you can connect a strap or cord to a paraclip ring with almost any method imaginable, whether its a shoelace, fabric strip, zip tie, or duct tape. This simplicity and versatility was preferred by a Navy Seal whose video I watched recently, who explained that when they're deploying into water or crawling along a beach at night, he wouldn't trust a QD socket, but clip hardware with zipties for extra security would likely survive any scenario he'd encounter. I think QD's have a place for light duty range guns or beginners who just want to use the sockets built into their gun, but more heavy-duty use cases might favor a hook setup.
Crap, I’ve been doing it wrong for years. Shoulda watched this video 5-6 years ago. Never knew the Hunter 700 could take QD’s through those plugs! Good job Magpul!
@@Shmingming Huh?! No, it's not. You definitely don't want it rotating when used like that. And stock sling mount on the right side of the rifle (for a righty) IS how a two-point adjustable sling should be used...
Are the current line up of magpul stocks just including qd sockets standard like most manufactures or is this magpuls way of just milking money off the consumer?
I got the cheap one with no mounting system and ordered cheap QD mounts from Amazon for like 5 bucks and it's good to go. They are made of steel and there doesn't seem to be much that can go wrong. I plugged them in and yanked hard on them a few times and they held up just fine. I did see a few people in the reviews who said theirs did not stay in but most of the reviews were good so I took a chance on it.
Great review. I have a CZ scorpion evo3 S1 (European edition) and I am lost as to what fitting mechanism I can use to fit a sling, could you please advise. Thank you
Why not just mold QD cups into all your stocks like EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER? Who wants to buy a bunch of hardware that costs as much as the stock just to get the same functionalist we can get from everyone else?
I disagree that placing the front sling attachment on the forearm of a pump shotgun is a bad idea. Indeed, I've seen people with barrel/magazine mounted slings (the front end of which is stationary in relation to the pump forearm) that grab the sling along with the forearm and are then unable to work the action. Placing the front sling attachment on the forearm itself solves this issue and also does away with the issues you mentioned with barrel/magazine mounts like over-tightening and slug POI shifts. I've also found that those barrel clamp things never quite stay put if you shoot enough; MLOK doesn't have that problem.
I took the one that has two screw holes on it, I think it was M-Loc and held it on the side of a basic M4 style stock and marked the holes with a sharpie and then drilled two holes. Then I used Allen head screws and nuts and bolted it on there. I had to do a little modding on the piece with a dremel but it was pretty easy and it looks factory. If you're not good at doing things then you might not want to try it. But if you are somewhat mechanically inclined it's not hard to make it work.
Don’t buy it! Just bought an MS4 GEN2 QD sling from you. Opened it and the single point adapter accepts the Qd on one side but not on the other side (would not go all the way in) Store won’t allow a refund or exchange because it was opened and does not work. So Magpul will give me a return authorization and I can mail it back and then wait for processing and a return to me ( which it shows out of stock on the website) So that could take a while. I would have expected Magpul to just apologize and send the small piece I need, but instead they want me to go through this hassle for what to them is probably a $5 part. Being as I need this for training right away, I can’t wait on it so was forced to go and spend another $25 for the piece I need to actually use this $70 sling. Of course things happen, nothing is perfect all the time, but it’s how you handle it for a paying customer that will tell you all you need to know about a company. Lesson learned, I know what to expect from Magpul and won’t do it again.

This sling series was very helpful. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. My next sling will likely be a Magpul!
Amazingly clear and concise series of videos. I'm much more confident in buying a sling now. Thank you, Magpul. You've made a customer for life.
This series was full of detailed explanations. I’m going to rewatch these a few more time to let it all sink in.

We need to know how to attach lobster claws on our rifle
Happy that my SL-K on my ar is affordable. Paraclip mount works great on the rear of my AK MOE handguard since it keeps the sling away from your hand
You know what. I think you just sold me on a few of those MSA MOE QD mounts and a couple of MS1s.
You guys really need to make those type 1 and type 2 QD cups anti-rotation... QD mounts that aren't anti-rotation are worse than useless.
Rotation is nice if you run the rear qd point on the opposite side of the rifle.
@@Shmingming Huh?! No, it's not. You definitely don't want it rotating when used like that. And stock sling mount on the right side of the rifle (for a righty) IS how a two-point adjustable sling should be used...
@@Locutus494 You are being dramatic as hell for some QD mounts. They're supposed to spin. It's a fuckin circle.
Can I add an m lock QD sling mount to my MOE stock? Opposed to looping throw the bare webbing like at the start of the video. Cheers!
Fucking Great! Now they are going to ban Assault Skateboards! Thanks Magpul!
Are the current line up of magpul stocks just including qd sockets standard like most manufactures or is this magpuls way of just milking money off the consumer?
Did you watch the video, or ever look at Magpul stocks?!! Some have QD cups, some don't...
@@Locutus494 Right but going forward Why not have all include them.
@@swiftaudi they have to keep end user cost in mind. Some people (for whatever reason) might not need a QD cup on their stock.
@swiftaudi Because that's not part of all designs, especially low-cost ones...

Magpul the apple company of the second amendment industry.
Lol
No that’s pretty insulting. Magpul actually makes a product that’s worth using 10 years later. Can’t say that for Apple.
@@et9650 Brave man talking to Chuck like that.
I Agree
Thanks, installed on Ruger PC Backpack, worked like a charm!✌️
When is Magpul getting into the pc holster game? I have a bunch of ideas that would be extremely cool!
Great review.

Very helpful.
Very informative! Thank you.
I like how they demonstrated it on a skateboard as a F U to RUclips and to get around there stupid policies
Great info. Thanks a lot. !!!!
Bring back the ACR stock and partner with a paint manufacturer to produce a line of Magpul camo color spray paints($12/can)
Does the forward sling mount come in a 20ga version for the Remington 870?
Paraclip is the way to go imho.
Careful, that assault skateboard is banned in many urban environments.
With my moe carbine stock can I put the type 1 mount? I just bought it and hoping it will work.
How can I attach a some type of qd to the rear of a regular Moe stock?
a regular moe buttstock doesnt have a QD socket.
I took the one that has two screw holes on it, I think it was M-Loc and held it on the side of a basic M4 style stock and marked the holes with a sharpie and then drilled two holes. Then I used Allen head screws and nuts and bolted it on there. I had to do a little modding on the piece with a dremel but it was pretty easy and it looks factory.

Its a fuckin sling way to make it so god damn complicated.

Lesson learned, I know what to expect from Magpul and won’t do it again.
Selling stocks without the qd inserts is creating a problem you "luckily" provide the solution to.
Why wouldn't you (Magpul) just add the qd to the stocks you sell the adapter for? Specifically, the shotgun stocks. Seems like a money grab to me.
Someone do the math and figure out how many possible options were just listed
Yall arent showing the way the sling works. I want to see the slider, connecting it from one qd to slingle point.
Need to show for rear pistol attachment
I think I'll just go with another manufacturer. Feels like I need to spend an entire semester in college to grasp the whole Magpul sling thing.
It’s really not that complicated. If you can’t figure out a sling you probably shouldn’t own a rifle
@@josiahlee1982 normal sling I got after this comment was simple. I didn't have to take out a student loan to figure it out either!
I'm new to ARs. Can I talk to a representative about the sling options? My build is all Aero Precision btw.
Omg tmi
I was thinking the same thing….lol
Fuck you guys for not including qd in your already overpriced stocks
