Default Slings

Could I see some sling rigs? I want a sling to carry and a loop for sling supported shooting. But simple. Show attachment points and type of attachment.

I can mount mine from several different places. There is an attachment point on the rails when using a 2-point attachment, and another on the buffer tube to use in either a single or 2-point. The Magpul stocks also include points of attachment for qd swivels that can be used as the rear point of attachment in a 2-point setup.

OP, my opinion with slings and mounts is go with something you can have the option of a single or 2-point mount. Just about everyone I know, myself included, has thought a single-point would be great. Then after fumbling around with the rifle of WAY too many awkward instances, you'll realize that having a 2-point sling so the rifle can lay neatly across you chest is really convenient. I still use my single-point infrequently from time to time, but having the option to go to a 2-point mount is priceless.

Agreed...100%. I'm sure there is someone, somewhere that has a good reason for the single point setup, but for casual walking around the range / hunting use, I can't see where a single point is more comfortable.

What attachment are you using on the buffer tube?

USGI web sling works pretty good for carry and shooting

Carry/Hasty sling


Loop sling


Connections




And here's a carry/loop sling combo that doesn't have to be disconnected from the rear of the rifle to loop up

I'm using some cheap stuff I got online... I like the quick connect clips on this sling. We walk in the woods and shoot a lot so I like to be able to sling it up for hiking and take it off whenever I want.

Anyone got an uber slick way of attaching a QD Socket to the back of a Magpul MOE stock?

BTW: Beautiful carbines!

Thanks. I've been looking at the Troy one as well but I'm trying to just find a cheap one in the $20 range. Haven't been able to.

To my knowledge, the Troy and Daniel Defense versions of this item will not work with the 15-22 without extensive modification to your rifle. There is one other one out there like this, but the brand escapes me.

Check the web for this, as there are several ways to get a sling to attach. Using a QD swivel is probably not the most ideal way with the MOE, but rather looping a sling adapter through one of the openings either in the back or along the bottom of the stock. One possibility would be to sell your MOE and buy a CTR or STR, both of which include a built-in (reversible) QD mounting location. Or, if you can find access to both the inside and outside of the plastic housing somewhere, you could attach a micro-QD mount from "Mount - N - Slot" like I did on my shotgun. It requires a little drilling and you have to have enough room inside the housing to be able to turn a tiny allen wrench. It's on the side of the gun here:

Yep


(not my pics)


Impact Weapons Components

If you decide to switch to a stock with one built in, the STR is the way to go. The socket on the CTR is poorly designed and the swivel fits like ****.

Do you think the metal to metal is noisey? I had my sling on and noticed squeeks and noise when moving.

I have the MS3 single QD sling and believe the strap could have been made a couple of inches longer. I'm considering removing the QD section of strap from the MS3 and use it to replace the snap hook section from a CoiTAC bungee.

Apply a little bit of lubricant / grease to the area where the metal on metal contacts to reduce / eliminate the noise potential.

Or go to your local hardware store and check the plumbing section for a small pack of very thin rubber O-rings or thin rubber gasket rings to place inbetween the metal on metal contact points.
