NEA 14.5 MAGPUL ASAP Plate or alternative?

**PAYBACK** · 15-04-2013, 11:38

Looking for a MAGPUL ASAP plate for my NEA or want to know what my options are other than the ASAP plate. Tried a few store and have yet to find one. I will be running a MAGPUL MS3 sling non-QD.

Please update if you find one or a decent alternative I'm also looking. Thanks

You tried Hailstorm? Thats where I bought mine from.

Nothing at Hailstorm first place I tried.

I have one that I dont like. They are $25 at brownells (no stock), if you really want it, R250 plus postage gets it sent to you. PM me.
Personally, I'd look for a better solution. The ASAP is the most dissapointing Magpul product I have ever bought. It rattles (metal on metal), it appears roughly made, and its fit doesnt quite live up to the usual magpul quality. I also run a MS3, but i fitted QD attachments to it, a Daniel Defence railmount QD point on the foregrip and a CTR stock.

If payback doesn't take it I will. I take it its for the commercial size buffer tube?

Well, definitely the best option available currently if you like fast transitions. Once you start firing you wont hear the rattle...promise.

Thanks Andy you have PM. A bit limited in terms of rail space on NEA sides the reason I thought of ASAP plate. Also curious how you fitted QD mounts on your MS3? If I don't like ASAP I'll sell it on. Thanks again.

Sorry Larry, payback took it.
AFAIK there is only one size for the ASAP (unlike the stocks). This one fitted on my YHM which has a Mil buffer tube.

Mailed you...
I didnt check my order and ended up with a MS3 with the stock end fitting a QD unit. I bought in a DD rail mount QD unit and just clipped the MS3 clip to the DD QD swivel on the foregrip. The stock QD fits into the CTR as its made for one.
