Very impressed with this product. Mounted in 2 minutes. Holds in place and seems very rugged for the cost. However, after a few uses and allowing the weapon to hang for a few training courses the clamp screw had loosened. Easily remidied by applying thread lock. Very happy with purchase

If you're looking to avoid having to remove your buffer tube to install an adapter plate, this mount is for you. It slides on easy and tightens down via a clamping motion. It is very secure once in place. It's a little pricey, but to avoid having to deal with the pain of removing a staked buffer tube, I was willing to pay the price. Works with commercial and mil-spec tubes.

This device is easy to install. Remove sliding portion of stock, slide adapter down to Buffer tube nut. It self centers when installed properly. Tighten screw with provided star wrench. (Washers are included for civilian buffer tubes.) Reinstall butt stock. Install sling. The only thing not explained in the instructions is removal of the butt stock. This requires an additional tool to stick under the lever and lift to get past the last indent. Almost anything that will fit under the lever and allow you to lift can be used. The only disadvantage to this adapter (and any other that doesn't replace the buffer retaining nut is the stock will not lock in the fully collapsed position. I also had to trim about 1/8 inch of padding to fit the rifle into my form fit case. My one complaint is the ring isn't large enough to fit two hooks on the same side. If I had access to a gunsmith or spanner wrench I would go with replacing the buffer nut. Otherwise this is an excellent choice ...
