A good option is mounting a sling to a QD (or sling mount) endplate and at the end of your rail.
I used to stick to the single point sling method for my pistols with blades. Using a 2-point sling on the QD endplate and at the end of the rail is a whole lot better with no need to modify the blade.  "

I drilled a hole on my Shockwave Blade and mounted a Magpul #1 QD sling mount, Very stable.

looks like a simple standard allen bolt.
for the KAK tube and the dimples, it would be nice to get an longer screw with maybe a thumb nut for speedy adjustability. |

My biggest problem is that my sling gets very uncomfortable when tight. I use a padded VTAC on my rifles, and yes do use a forward qd mount on the handgaurds (I don't like the rear/next-to-receiver location). Withought taking a picture or video, I guess if almost feels as though it's choking or interfering with my cheek/neck when used at the rear of the receiver below the receiver extension. On my CTR/STR that goes away when using the opposite side on the stock.
I might have to try and drill and mount a magpul, was hoping to avoid a dedicated sling on each blade. |

The Thumb Screw is the one I use regularly, It was Plain steel, 2" long, I cut it to proper length with a hacksaw, tapered the point on my belt sander, Dipped it in some cold blue and oiled. Lowe's had them in their specialty hardware section, 5/16X18 threads.
