First world problems.

I have to wire it out of the way so it doesn't scratch up the grenade launcher.  How do you install a sling on these guns?  What's the secret?

Through the sight tower.

What do I do when the nylon sling starts melting after firing it on full auto?

There seems to be some sort of different mount... anyone know anything about this?

Get a single point sling adapter that goes between the reciever and front of the stock. Ggg makes several.

That's a side sling adapter, pretty common.

There were also metal triangles that snapped around the sight tower to provide a forward sling mount, or paracord loops tied to do the same thing


I've seen the sling material just looped through the sight tower or around the barrel at the hand guard cap, too.

That side sling adapter seems like a good way to go.

Single point sling connected to the buffer tube plate would work
