What kind of rail?
I bet paracord would be safe to loop around your rail and attach a sling to. |

I roll with the Proctor Sling. They are as simple as it gets...strong and ultra-lightweight. I have them on all my ARs. Never had a problem because of heat.

ETA didn't read. The person who recommended the BFG cord is the answer I would go with.

IDF uses the paracord attached to the front sight base method, if it's good enough for them it's good enough for civilian use.
My recent range trip was four consecutive 30rnd magazines at approximately one round every 1 to 2 seconds. It was hot but not hot enough to even begin to melt the cord. Give it a try, if you melt the cord take some pics and let us know how many mag dumps it took  .

I am thanking you all, thank you for the ideas, here is what I came up with minutes ago in the shop.
Some old steel plastic coated bow cables and a drilled out Easton insert and then mashed shut and soldered the ends where the stickers were left over. If it gets hot, it may melt the coating but I never do mag dumps on my rifles unless I am in a fight or 10 or so to check for reliability. I would post a picture if I could figure out how? Guys, how to do I post a pic from my computer? |

The 550 cord wrapped around the front sight is probably a good idea. Like mentioned earlier, if Israel uses it in front line conditions where they are, it is obviously fine for the rest of us. They are quiet and inexpensive, just not easy to remove like a QD or detachable swivel when you want to clean or store your rifle.
Since you made the coat hanger front sight sling loop, you reminded me of something I saw year ago in an arms room. It was a triangular ring of thin steel wire. It formed a triangular split ring, and the short leg of the triangle was wide enough for a standard rifle sling. It was hooked into the front sight tower, and the sling attached to it. It was about 1.25" wide and 2" tall. It was not as quiet as a 550 sling, but at least had a metal wire loop around the sight tower so even high heat was no problem. I never saw another one, but you could probably bend one up easily enough in 5 minutes. It looked like a decent sling attachment to me at the time. |
