Would like to see any examples you gentleman have of using paracord to attach your sling to your rifle.

I have a fixed Ace Ltd. ARFX stock and don't like the attachment points on it.

I made a couple of loops, one large enough to clear the buttstock and the other the forearm.  Closed them with a square knot.  Then ran a prusik loop through the existing sling swivels.

I like the look of paracord.

Check or the Proctor sling by Frank Proctor. I have both the original and newer version. Amazingly simple and well thought out. It uses paracord to attach to the rifle.

The rear of the sling paracord could also be installed parallel to the buttpad which is another option as you wish.






Here's an instruction vid on YouTube on how to tie a paracord sling mount.

That's some nice work.

How long did that take to construct?

About 10 minutes. The sling is an Eagle TAS-something I got at a surplus store. It didn't have the connection loops with it.
