The Magpul ASAP-QD AR-15 receiver end plate sling attachment gives your rifle a clean, functional rear mounting point for quick-detach slings. If you're running an AR-15 or M4-pattern carbine and want to ditch single-point sling setups or traditional side-mount attachments, this steel plate replaces your standard end plate and provides a solid foundation for push-button QD swivels. It's built for shooters who need fast shoulder transitions—hunters switching between offhand and supported positions, competitive shooters moving between stages, and tactical-minded operators who value speed and symmetry.
The engineering here is straightforward but clever: the mount socket is angled slightly downward and allows more than 180 degrees of sling rotation, so whether you're a righty or lefty (or you're just swinging the gun across your body), the sling moves freely without binding. The low-profile design and rounded edges mean it won't snag on gear or catch on brush, and the case-hardened steel with Melonite finish will shrug off hard use and corrosion. Installation is simple—remove your existing receiver end plate, slide this one on, and you're done.
Compatibility matters here: this attachment works with one-point slings that feature push-button QD connectors, including Magpul's own MS4 Dual QD GEN 2 and MS1 Multi-Mission Slings (with QD loop assembled on the back). Your sling is sold separately, so factor that into your setup. If you're already running a two-point sling with a rear attachment, this gives you a no-fuss upgrade path.

Frequently Asked Questions
What slings work with the ASAP-QD end plate?
This attachment is designed for one-point slings with push-button quick-detach connectors. Magpul's MS4 Dual QD GEN 2 and MS1 Multi-Mission Sling (with QD loop assembled on the back) are compatible. Slings are sold separately.
Will this fit my AR-15 or M4 carbine?
Yes, the ASAP-QD replaces the standard AR-15/M4 receiver end plate. Installation involves removing your existing end plate and sliding this one on in its place.

Absolutely. The ambidextrous design and 180+ degree rotation range allow shooters of either hand orientation to quickly shift the sling between shoulders without repositioning the mount.
