Glad to hear it.not yet. FWIW I had one in my parts bin (prob picked it up at some sale) and threw it on a lower last week for a new 9mm build as I'm trying to keep costs down for this build. I did remember noting that I liked how it fit into the lower's bottom hole, no need for the little key pin to keep it tube etc from rotating. I just went and tried a Magpul and Strike Industries QD in it and both fit the same, no slop. I jerked it hard from the sides and it didn't pop out. Seemed to have the same feel as the ones in the my BPM ars. The design of the rim the ball bearings expand into only allows for a bit of twist. It will not twist 360* more like 45* one way 45* the other. My Magpul plate spins 360. my short lived $0.02
Anybody with actual experience with this particular item? I’m readily aware of UTG’s reputation in general.

My Magpul ASAP showed up today. I haven’t installed it, but did try out a sling I’ve had for several years but have never used. The QD does click in and spins 360°. However, I’m assuming it’s gonna hit the buffer tube. So maybe the 45° each way isn’t much different?
I mean there’s no way for it to rotate to this position, right?

@tod0987
good info...thanks...
Based on the way you worded it, I’ll assume there are other styles of QD mounts out there. I’ll have to check that out.
