What kind of sling setup is that?It SEEMS to be attached to the delta ring and around the rear stock but it seemed to attach from the top of the stock????


Anyone know what this setup IS or HOW to do it?

are you refering to a top sling adapter?

It's alot like that ,but the forearm end seems to be attached around the slipring just in front of the recieverand behind the forearm(handguards).....I don't know if this a "hollywood" setup or a legitimate rig.It looks COOL as hell though."Joker" (in the movie)
has his M-16 setup in this fashion.(I noticed it while watching FMJ one night and saw that sling getup and wondered if any of you noticed it too and I wanted to find out if it that is a good(and effective way)to attach a sling.

I just scanned FMJ on dvd and didn't see anything other than standard sling set up... do you have a specific time durring the movie?

Where can I get one of those ??

OK, now I've seen it...for some reason my "print screen" feature doesnt work with DVD's (??)  I don't know any other way to get a screen shot.  otherwise I'd post a picture.

The only place I've seen that is in the movie.

what he did was took the adjustable part of the GI sling and secured tightly around the slipring.  So instead of going to the front sling point it goes to the slipring.  The sling contiues on from there to the rear swivel.

I've got and use an assortment of slings on my AR's...  they all have their +'s and -'s.

OH, cnatra...
I've got a few that uncle same didn't "need" anymore.. but I've seen them in the various catalogs and almost always at funshows.

what dvd program? it may have it's own screen shot option. also try alt-print screen, not sure if it'll work but it's worth a try.

Nothing to do with M-16s but MOST video cards that support DVD playback use what's called "video overlay" mode. You can see it in action by making your playback screen small and moving its positoion on your screen quickly. You'll notice it takes a few microseconds for the video picture to "catch up" to the new window position of the playback software. You can't capture it using any conventional screen capture rechniques or any of the built in screen shot features built into some dvd playback software. I tend to rip the video off the DVD by DeCSSing it... then converting it to AVI and finding the frame I want... and exporting that from any AVI editing software.

Thankyou 7IDL!!YOU are da'man.I didn't know if it was that simple or not...since it is,I'll try it out for fun and see how I like it.Thanks again 7IDL.
