I purchased a Wilderness 3-point sling, and found that the strap that lies along the rifle blocks the ejection port, so it went back in the box. Then I purchased a single-point Specter sling, and while I liked it at the range and for tac-team work, I found that the rifle can't be carried on my back, and swings around too much, causing difficulty when transitioning to pistol, deploying on patrol, or going hands-on with the "not-so-nice ones". I'm thinking that a 2-point sling might work, but maybe attaching it to the sling thing at the rear and somewhere just at the start of the forward handguard (maybe a QD sling thing on the M73 rail?). My reason for attaching it at the proximal part of the forestock is to prevent the swinging that came with the single-point sling while still providing some of the freedom that it gave me over the 3-point sling, WITHOUT blocking the ejection port and causing misfeeds.
There's an awful lot of knowledge out there, and I am earger to pick your collective brains-- any thoughts/suggestions? BTW- It's a Bushmaster XM15 E2S M4 w/ M73 rails, TD VFG and SF G2 in a VT mount (sorry for the mess of abbreviations/acronyms, but I'm sure you'll figure it out- remember, you're the smart ones!) Thank you in advance.
