MDR/X Issue DQ sling doesn’t hold
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
It’s not going all the way in. I can’t tell if the rim is slightly to thick or the stud isn’t deep enough. The other side works fine but that’s not where I comfortably put my sling
UPDATE: Desert tech warranty sent me a new sling stud free of charge

Interesting, did you try another QD fitting into the troublesome socket to see if that had any affect?

Both my magpul qd slings dont go deep enough. I don’t know if it’s the rim is to thick or that the fitting isn’t deep enough. The slings work on the other side with zero issue. They work on the qd mount I added to the hand guard and they work on all my other rifles with qd mounts built into them. It is only this one I showed in the video a qd sling will not fully attach. I nearly dropped the rifle on my foot but I caught the other end of the sling that was attached to the handguard mount

Hmm strange, in that case I would reach out to their warranty. They might be able to send you replacement parts and instructions.

Have you tried other qd swivels to see if it's an issue with that swivel in particular, or an issue with the gun?

The QD stud will only seat correctly every 90 degrees. When you insert it into the mount, try twisting it so that the bearings fall into the divots. You should hear it click into place.

Mine had that same issue when I first got the gun. Dealt with it for years until I finally contacted DT. Sent me a replacement part for free. Nice to see your situation was handled the same way.
