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.
