Daniel Defense REAR RECEIVER QD SWIVEL ATTACHMENT POINT (W/SWIVEL)

Product Description

The Daniel Defense Rear Receiver QD Swivel Attachment Point (W/Swivel) is a mounting solution that adds a quick-detach sling attachment to the rear of an AR-15 upper receiver. It provides a fixed QD socket positioned at the back of the receiver, allowing you to run a single-point or two-point sling configuration without relying on rail-mounted accessories or stock hardware.

This attachment is built for shooters who want a secure, low-profile QD sling point at the rear of the receiver. The rear position places the attachment closer to your shoulder, which changes sling dynamics compared to mid-rail or handguard mounts.

Because the swivel is included, you can install and use it immediately once mounted to the receiver.

How the Rear Receiver QD Mount Works

Quick-detach sling swivels lock into a QD socket with a spring-loaded ball-detent mechanism. When you press the button on the swivel, the balls retract and the swivel pulls free. Release the button and the swivel locks back in place with an audible click.

Mounting a QD socket at the rear of the receiver positions the attachment point behind the ejection port, near the charging handle area. This location suits single-point slings well and works with two-point configurations when paired with a forward attachment on the handguard or front sling mount.

Installation typically involves threading or clamping the mount to the receiver, depending on the design. Call 817-393-4000 to confirm fitment and installation requirements for your specific upper receiver.

Why Choose a Rear Receiver QD Attachment

Most AR-15 sling setups use either the buffer tube, the handguard, or rail-mounted QD sockets. A rear receiver mount offers an alternative that keeps the sling point off the rail, preserving space for optics, lights, or laser devices.

Rear-mounted QD points also change how the rifle hangs when slung. The weight shifts farther back, which some shooters prefer for comfort during long carries or when transitioning between shooting and other tasks.

This mount is not a firearm component and does not require an FFL transfer. It ships as an upper parts accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Daniel Defense rear receiver QD swivel attachment fit all AR-15 uppers?

A: Fit depends on the specific design of your upper receiver and the mounting method used by this attachment. Call 817-393-4000 to confirm compatibility with your receiver before ordering.

Q: Is the QD swivel already included or sold separately?

A: The product name indicates “W/Swivel,” meaning a swivel is included. For confirmation of exactly what you will receive, call 817-393-4000.

Q: How does a rear QD mount compare to a side-rail QD socket?

A: A rear receiver mount places the attachment point behind the ejection port, close to the shooter’s shoulder. A side-rail socket mounts farther forward on the handguard or rail. Rear mounts suit single-point slings and reduce clutter on your rail, while side-rail sockets offer more flexibility in sling angle and position.

Q: Can I install this QD attachment myself?

A: Installation methods vary by product design. Some mounts thread into the receiver, others use set screws or clamps. If you are unsure about the installation process or lack the tools, Western Sport offers gunsmithing services in Roanoke. Call 817-393-4000 to discuss installation.
