I ****ing skrimped and saved for the damn weapon. I understand I was a bit too animated about my feelings towards a nearly 2000 dollar piece of equipment crashing on the ground. And yes, it fell a grand total of maybe 4 feet and then bounced. I spent a lot of money on my rifle, and it was not a comforting sight to see it hit the ground. The only thing I can give everybody is this: then it turns out it wasn't even the qd's fault. Guess this is the reason I just look at the AR as a tool, and not something to accessorize and make look pretty.įYI there are much more secure ways to sling up a gun without a QD attachment.ĥ pages of reading and for some reason all I've got from this thread was omg qd questionable. These guns handle the rigors of war, being beaten on, smashed into things, and being used as tools, all of which they have proven to handle. Good grief, you make it sound like your first born just faceplanted in a cactus bed or something.
#Hk clip vs mash hook update#
I'll update as soon as I receive further information. I'm fairly confident I'm going to get taken care of. When I inquired about exchanging the QD endplate & swivel for a different product, he assured me that they could work something out for me, they just want to inspect the parts first & foremost. He was very polite & genuinely wanted to resolve the problem. He was very concerned, and it came across to me that he cared, and was just as curious as to the issue. The man I spoke with agreed that I had better send it in for inspection. (I looked closer at it last night & this was my conclusion) I mentioned this, & the fact that the edge or lip on the endplate that engages the ball bearings, looks like an inadequate amount of surface to hold onto. Now, I had a look before I sent it out & it does seat fully. Being my lower is an off brand, he believes that "pocket" may not be deep enough to fully seat the swivel head, & therefore, it pops out. You see, the manufacturer builds and designs all their parts according to Colt specs. The "pocket" that is in the back of the receiver, might not have enough depth for the actual swivel. Speaking with CS, there is an issue that I hadnt been aware of. It is a QD endplate, much like the Noveske model. The CS is very good thus far, and I got the parts shipped out to be inspected. Having experienced those previously, I haven't had an issue with QD in years because I physically check compatibility ahead of time don't write off QD entirely! So it's less likely that the attachment failed, but instead a design issue (flaw, if you want to call it that, but I think it's more about the lack of interchangeability between certain manufacturers). Some are closer to the shoulder than others and don't give enough clearance to lock into place. The issue seems to be the distance from the swivel's shoulder to the ball bearing center. But you can see it (the push button not resetting all the way out, and staying slightly depressed after insertion) and hear it not click in. There are some manufacturers who's tolerances vary just enough to cause a QD swivel to NOT lock into another manufacturer's socket. Not all QD male and female parts are universally interchangeable. I didn't read the thread, so you might have it answered/figured out already, and/or my post might be completely irrelevant to your issue. Thank you for your recommendation and advice. The "cringe" lasted a long time, and than stayed with me throughout the evening. The rifle hit receiver extension/stock first. You may want to look into using them and you can get rail attachments for them in case you are having a mounting issue. There are some other ways to do have QD attachments without using the male /female socket, I am using the Paraclip attachment on my 870 to attach a VCAS and it's a pretty solid setup. If its not internally messed, which I doubt happening from a detach and fling, I would just keep on moving and chalk it up to character. Personally my AR could use some hitting the deck, it would make it look better. Is anything actually messed up on your AR or just some cosmetic scratches? I understand where your coming from but the whole QD failure is a known issue and people use at their own risk.
