Have you thought about single-point slings?

Like the CHALKER?
http://www.blackhawkindustries.com/product_detail.asp?product_id=1954&d= I heard the CHALKER sling allows the weapon to strike the family jewels if you are not careful. I would like to keep the ability to rest the rifle on my chest or back, like I can with a three point tactical sling, but now it looks like I cannot attach it to the forend. Does anyone have the M500A with a tac-sling? |

I found this:
CQB Solutions High Speed Transition (HST) Sling http://www.cqbsolutions.com/hsts.htm [img]http://www.cqbsolutions.com/hsts_car_lg.jpg[/img] It even shows a pic with an M500A, but without those damn LEDs. Does this sling work well? |

I don't know if this will help any, but I use a Dieter/CQD made by Blackhawk. I shoot lefty, and when I let the rifle "hang" it does so on the outside of my left leg. I can see how it might hit the ole jewels if you were to do any running without holding/supporting the rifle some way. I just walk around the range with it, so it's not that big of a deal for me.
Here's my M4-gery before I added my M500A. I've got the old school model, so thanks for the pics of the newer one. [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/Attachments/DownloadAttach.asp?iImageUnq=12003[/img] CHRIS |

Chris,
How does it attach to the rifle? Is it something like this: [img]http://www.cqbsolutions.com/car15_slingplate_sm.jpg[/img] |

Yes, it uses something similar. I bought mine from Wes from MSTN. It's a Dieter/CQD also.
Here's the thread. [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=25&t=148479&w=myTopicPop[/url] CHRIS |

Chris,
how did you attach it to the rifle? Like this: [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/IG_LoadImage.asp?iImageUnq=1445[/img] Or like this: [img]http://photos.ar15.com/ImageGallery/IG_LoadImage.asp?iImageUnq=11051[/img] I am leaning toward using the second one with the CQB HST or the Dieter/CQD. Thanks for your help. |

I use the top one. Those flat clips are what comes on the Dieter. It works out pretty good for me, since I connect them on the right side of the rifle.
The bottom one looks like it would be perfect for the CQB/HST. CHRIS |

While on the topic of single point slings, is there any good way to get a plate one there without breaking factory staking? (Dammit Colt, why do you do that, anyway?)
Breaking staking is a real pain, and it is what has stopped me from trying a single point up to now. |

Ive yet to see anyone make one that would allow that.

What is breaking staking?
Will I have to do it to put the KNIGHT'S HD QD SWIVEL on my Colt Sporter Target? |

Colt factory collapsible stocks are "staked" with a punch so that they cannot be easily removed.
Armorer's school recommends heat, a drill, and a long-handle CAR wrench and if that fails a Dremel tool. It really sucks. |

Does that mean if I have an aftermarket collapsible stock, I do not have to worry about it?
