Elevate Your AR-15 Sling System with the Daniel Defense Rear Receiver QD Attachment Point

For any serious AR-15 owner, the ability to securely and efficiently carry and deploy their rifle is paramount. A critical component in achieving this is a reliable sling system. The Daniel Defense Rear Receiver Quick Detach (QD) Attachment Point is an indispensable upgrade designed to provide unparalleled versatility, durability, and tactical advantage for your carbine-style AR-15 with a collapsible stock. This robust accessory transforms how you manage your firearm, offering quick adaptability in dynamic environments and enhancing overall weapon control.

Whether you're engaging in competitive shooting, navigating challenging hunting terrain, training for tactical scenarios, or preparing for home defense, the method by which you secure and deploy your rifle can make all the difference. Traditional sling mounts often fall short in terms of quick detach capabilities, ambidextrous functionality, or resistance to tangling. The Daniel Defense QD Attachment Point directly addresses these limitations, providing a superior solution that integrates seamlessly with industry-standard push-button QD sling swivels.

Why a Dedicated QD Sling Mount is Essential for Your AR-15

Many AR-15 platforms come with basic sling loops or integrated sling points that may not offer the quick detach functionality or optimal positioning needed for modern tactical slings. A dedicated rear receiver QD attachment point is vital for several reasons:

• Rapid Deployment and Transition: A quick-detach system allows you to rapidly connect or disconnect your sling, facilitating swift transitions between primary and secondary weapons, or quickly securing your rifle when not in active use.
• Enhanced Maneuverability: Positioning the sling at the rear of the receiver, particularly with a single-point or properly configured two-point sling, can improve the rifle's balance and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially in close quarters.
• Weapon Retention: A securely attached sling provides critical weapon retention, preventing accidental drops and ensuring your firearm remains close and accessible during movement, climbing, or other physical activities.
• Ambidextrous Operation: For shooters who operate from either shoulder, or need to transition between dominant hands, an ambidextrous attachment point is a game-changer. It ensures consistent weapon manipulation regardless of the shooting stance or tactical situation.
• Tangle Prevention: Slings can notoriously twist and tangle, especially during rapid movements or when the rifle is slung for extended periods. A well-designed QD mount with rotation limits can significantly reduce this frustration.

The Daniel Defense Rear Receiver QD Attachment Point is engineered precisely for these critical requirements, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to optimize their AR-15's sling system.

Key Features and Engineering Excellence

The excellence of this Daniel Defense accessory lies in its meticulous design and robust construction, providing specific advantages for discerning users.

Uncompromising Steel Construction

• Durability and Longevity: Manufactured from high-grade steel, this QD attachment point is built to withstand the rigorous demands of tactical use, competitive shooting, and everyday carry. Unlike lighter materials that might wear down or deform under stress, steel ensures a lifetime of reliable performance.
• Resilience: It offers exceptional resistance to impact, abrasion, and the stresses of dynamic sling use, ensuring your sling remains securely attached even in the most demanding scenarios.

Heavy Phosphate Coating for Ultimate Protection

• Corrosion Resistance: The heavy phosphate coating provides superior protection against rust, corrosion, and environmental degradation. This is crucial for firearms accessories exposed to moisture, sweat, dirt, and various weather conditions.
• Reduced Glare and Signature: The matte, non-reflective finish helps minimize glare, which can be advantageous in tactical situations where maintaining a low visual signature is important.
• Enhanced Wear Resistance: The coating also contributes to the part's overall wear resistance, preserving its appearance and function over extended periods of use.

Ambidextrous Attachment Capabilities

• Universal Handedness: Designed for both left- and right-handed shooters, this attachment point allows for the push-button sling swivel to be inserted from either side. This crucial feature ensures that all users can achieve optimal sling setup and rifle manipulation without compromise.
• Tactical Versatility: In dynamic situations, shooters may need to transition between shoulders or engage targets from unconventional positions. The ambidextrous design facilitates seamless transitions without reconfiguring your sling or grip.

Optimized for Push-Button QD Sling Swivels

• Industry Standard Compatibility: This attachment point is specifically engineered to accept the widely popular and reliable push-button quick detach sling swivels. This ensures broad compatibility with a vast array of slings and sling hardware available on the market.
• Secure Locking Mechanism: The precise machining ensures a tight, secure lock-up with any standard QD swivel, eliminating wobble and providing a dependable attachment point.

Strategic Rear Receiver Mounting

• Ideal Balance for Carbines: This attachment mounts directly to the rear of the receiver, specifically on carbine AR-15s equipped with a collapsible-stock receiver extension (buffer tube). This placement is often preferred for single-point sling configurations or specific two-point setups, providing excellent balance and rapid indexing of the rifle.
• Minimalist Profile: Its low-profile design ensures it doesn't interfere with your grip, stock manipulation, or other accessories mounted on the rifle.

Rotation-Limited Design for Tangle Prevention

• Smooth Operation: One of the most frustrating aspects of slings is their tendency to twist and tangle. The intelligent design of this attachment point leverages the buffer tube to limit the rotation of the QD swivel.
• Enhanced User Experience: This rotation limitation prevents the sling from binding or twisting excessively, ensuring smooth movement, quick transitions, and preventing snags on gear or clothing. It contributes significantly to a more fluid and less encumbered shooting experience.

Feather-Light Form Factor

• Minimal Weight Impact: Weighing in at a mere 0.8 ounces, this attachment point adds negligible weight to your AR-15. This is crucial for maintaining the rifle's overall balance and handling characteristics, especially for users who prioritize lightweight setups or spend extended periods carrying their firearm.
• No Compromise on Strength: Despite its minimal weight, the steel construction ensures that no strength or durability is sacrificed.

Proudly Made in the USA

• Quality Assurance: Daniel Defense is renowned for its commitment to American manufacturing and stringent quality control. This product exemplifies that dedication, ensuring you receive a component crafted to the highest standards.
• Supporting Domestic Industry: Choosing a "Made in the USA" product supports American jobs and industry, reflecting a commitment to superior craftsmanship and innovation.

The Daniel Defense Rear Receiver QD Attachment Point is a versatile solution that caters to a broad spectrum of AR-15 users, each seeking specific enhancements for their firearm:

• Tactical Operators & Law Enforcement: For professionals who depend on their equipment in life-or-death situations, the reliability, ambidextrous functionality, and robust construction of this attachment are non-negotiable. It ensures optimal weapon retention and rapid deployment under pressure.
• Competitive Shooters (e.g., 3-Gun): In disciplines requiring rapid movement, transitions between shooting positions, and quick weapon manipulation, a tangle-free, ambidextrous QD system is critical for shaving off precious seconds and maintaining fluid performance.
• Hunters: Carrying a rifle for extended periods over challenging terrain demands comfort and security. This attachment point, combined with a suitable sling, allows for comfortable carry and quick access when a shot opportunity arises.
• Home Defense Enthusiasts: For those using their AR-15 for personal or home defense, the ability to quickly don or doff a sling, retain the weapon, and transition freely in confined spaces is a significant advantage.
• General AR-15 Owners & Enthusiasts: Anyone looking to upgrade their rifle's functionality, improve ergonomics, and enhance their overall shooting experience will find this attachment to be a valuable addition. It’s an easy-to-install improvement that delivers immediate, tangible benefits.

Simple Installation, Profound Impact

Installing the Daniel Defense Rear Receiver QD Attachment Point is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic AR-15 disassembly. It mounts at the rear of the receiver extension, typically requiring the removal of your castle nut and end plate. Once installed, it sits securely between the receiver and the castle nut, becoming an integral part of your rifle's lower receiver assembly. No specialized gunsmithing tools are required beyond standard AR-15 armorer's tools like an armorer's wrench and a vise block for the lower receiver. This ease of installation means you can quickly upgrade your rifle and immediately experience the benefits of a superior sling attachment solution.

Maximizing Your Setup: Choosing the Right Sling

While the Daniel Defense QD attachment provides the anchor, pairing it with the right sling is essential for a complete, high-performance system. The push-button QD compatibility means you have a vast array of choices.

• Single-Point Slings: Often favored for maximum freedom of movement and rapid weapon manipulation in close quarters, a single-point sling connects to a single point, usually at the rear of the receiver. The Daniel Defense QD attachment is an ideal anchor for these slings, providing ambidextrous capability and preventing rotation.
• Two-Point Slings: Offering greater stability and comfort for extended carry, two-point slings connect at two points on the rifle. While the Daniel Defense attachment can serve as the rear connection point, ensuring your sling also has a forward QD swivel is recommended for a fully integrated quick-detach system.
• Adjustable Slings: Look for slings with rapid adjust features, allowing you to quickly tighten or loosen the sling for different shooting positions, carrying comfort, or securing the rifle when moving.

Regardless of your chosen sling type, the Daniel Defense Rear Receiver QD Attachment Point provides a robust, reliable, and intelligently designed connection point that significantly elevates your rifle's operational readiness.
