First question, I like single points mounted on the plate between the stock and lower. I made my own with some tubular webbing and 550cord. Works just fine and quite useful.
second, take off your muzzle device, knock out the three pins in the front sight base, slide off the plate. Reverse. |

I prefer 2 point side mounted slings. Typically involve drilling in to teh stock and hand gaurd and getting some sling studs. I find 3 point slings too busy and like single point slings limit your carry options. No work carry for example. Just what I prefer though. My suggestion is to make your own and try all of them out to see what works best for you. They are very cheap to make.

pup-dawg,
The SOC-C sling was designed for our nation's elite but it would serve you well also, since it does all three common sling modes. One point, two point, or three point and users are coming up with new configs for it everyday.  SOC-C SLING [email protected] www.blueforcegear.com |

Here is a pic of my Bushy A2 Carbine, which now has a 6 pos stock, with a CQB solutions SOP 3 point sling. The sling is wider than most, is very comfortable, easy to adjust quickly, and fits the weapon very well. When I purchased mine I got the "deployment package" which allows me to transfer the sling to any A2/A3/CAR configuration with the supplied adapters. I have found recently that the sling does ride much better on the CAR stock than on the A2, not that it was bad on the A2 mind you.

i bought one of those last year. i hate the freaking thing. Too much loose webbing haging around that snags on gear. shooting the rifle without the sling on your body is damn near impossible. Took it off and went back to the good old USGI silent sling mounted on the front sight post and between the stock and reciever. Works perfectly well for almost any shooting position and has very little loose webbing to snag. Your milage may vary. Oh yea i almost forgot the cost. 3.50 mike ps.... hope that didn't come off as a slam against your post sgtmike. didn't mean it to be. After i reread my post i figured i better clear that up. SOme guys like those just fine. just didn't work out for me. |

I get hung up too easily with a 3-point sling, I feel like I'm in the middle of a fishing knot.
I use a single point sling that detaches both from the weapon and from me in a hurry. It isn't for everyone but I haven't found anything better for myself. |

This requirement usually precludes the three point and most other "tactical" slings. The only "tactical" requirement for a sling is so if you drop the rifle for a handgun transition, it hangs vertical and out of the way. A normal two point sling will accomplish this, but you need a top/side mount swivel particularly at the rear. This can be augmented with a single point sling to get the "tactical" aspect. Take a look at these offerings: www.tacticalintervention.com/rifleslings.html The quick cuff sling might not be what you want, but the slip cuff may be a better match. If you have specific questions on those, please ask. Drop me a line as well to get my attention and I can post some pics.

+2. I bought a SpectreGear MOUT sling from someone on the EE, and am really happy with it. It lets me shoot from the off-side easily, and when I let go it drops perfectly vertical, muzzle down. I also like the quick detach feature. For casual use, it's good to take the rifle off without having to wiggle out of the sling, for emergencies it's nice to know that if the rifle gets hung up on something and you need to get out of it in a hurry (ie to avoid drowning or burning) then you can get out with the click of a button. |
