Without modifying the A2 stock, I've gone the IDF route before where you tie 550 cord around the stock and through the bottom sling mount, then in the 550 cord you make a smaller loop at the top where you attach your sling. Helps it balance down when carrying at the ready.
Mine looked better than this though.

I use this one. Seems to work well once you figure it out. |

(I have four of them.) Back in ancient history, when I was an Infantryman humping an A2 (30 years ago), I used a padded M60 sling, with the front through the FSB and the rear looped through the bottom sling swivel and around the stock, with the keeper pulled tight against the stock body. |

I never understood the AR platform sling mounts, holding it upside down unless slung on shoulder.

I'd think something like this would be a great flexible option:

Ive got a couple of these https://www.troyind.com/products/m16a4-sling-mount-blk-0 only downside to them is that they add about 1/4-3/8" to the LOP

Tactical Tailor used to make a nylon/velcro part that wraps around the stock and attaches to the butt. I am pretty sure I have a couple in my nylon junk bag. I see they no longer make it. I probably have the entire sling.

After digging around some more, I found out about the Blue Force Gear Buttstock adapter, so I'm going to give that a go. Thanks guys.

Noveske Flush Mount
Here's a link showing another option. I've tried both and never had any issues with either product. |

Things tend to move/change slowly in the military many times. Slings weren't regularly used in the manner we use them today until relatively recently. Yeah we had people making their own solutions and some groups getting special equipment but for the most part big Army and the Marine Corps just used slings to carry rifles around on your shoulder when not in use. |

I just bought the GG&G plate adapter with a side swivel in the front.

Are you opposed to modifying the stock?
