Where are your QD points?
How you you want to sling your AUG? My typical setup uses a corvus extended rail and use its mid rail QD (left side) and butt stock QD (right side). The Ferro Concepts Slingster is very comfortable without any other padding/etc underneath (i.e. Pajamas and bunny slippers). I also like the Haley Strategic D3 Sling (probably over the Ferro). It is more minimal, snags less, has its own sling system which is very thought out, and most importantly comes with the QD connectors. I also find the D3 sling works better on a wider variety of systems. Either sling is stowed left side rear along the mag well and mag release using an extended Sentry Strap. |

I don't like using the front QD on an AUG for that reason so I ended going using a Vickers Padded Sling attached to a Gear Head Works AUG FLEx Swivel and a Corvus Defensio Anti-Rotation QD Sling-attach.

I use the original style Steyr sling, it works fine for me.

I have a bunch of the Steyr slings. They work.
I also have some endom adjustable slings with the buckle at the end. It makes for easy sling removal on the M1 guns with a stock rear sling pin with the QD pin at the receiver and the buckle attached to the rear takedown pin. |

I have a 900 series and bought what I thought was a surplus sling but it’s so short I can’t really use it. Open to suggestions.

Thread the webbing thread the sling pin until it bottom out. Thread the webbing through the loop at the end of the sling. Pull it tight. Now the sling is attached to the rear takedown pin. Next attach the buckle a couple inches down on the sling. Thread it through the sling swivel on the receiver and the buckle. Close buckle. If it’s still too short then the surplus sling belonged to a midget. |

I'm struggling with my BFG sling on my M1 with charging handle interference. Do you think it's worth buying a factory sling to try out? |

I use a War Horse concepts Pitch Veil sling with the Gear head Flex takedown button and the Midwest industries QD Takedown, works pretty well.

Try the gear head flex, it will fix the interference of the CH. You could also try keeping the sling routed to the right and under the receiver, and routed under the stock (between the grip and vfg) to the left. |

I would have never thought about rerouting the sling. What do you think about attaching the sling to the rear leg of the factory optic. I can't convince myself it's a good idea. The GH flex looks like my option. Thank you! |

I had the same idea about the rear optics leg.. but I’m experimenting this solution.. front of the sling attached with an adapter similar to this and stock rear swivel on the right side.. its not that bad and the CH can be manipulated without issue

I’ve never tried that but there’s a bunch of pictures out there of military AUGs with that sling attachment method. I do like the GHW flex QD sling mount. There’s a lot of well thought out AUG aftermarket parts and this is one of them. |

For single point I use a savvy sniper on the Aug FLEx swivel from gearhead works.
