I picked up a military style sling for my AR and am not sure exactly how it goes on. It is the same style as this link. www.gunaccessories.com/Hunter/Military.asp Can anyone help me get this thing installed right? |

You might want to check into using that sling. I have seen discussions on whether it is a good idea or not to wrap your arm while using an AR type system vs. a one-piece stock/forearm setup...somethng about the torque created between the upper and lower causing everthing from poor accuracy to damaging the weapon. I'm no expert but I would hate for anyone to damage their AR. |
| Seth, beg to differ, that picture is of a military sling isued with the M1 Garand, among others, (believe it is commonly called a Whelen type). I am not sure , but think it might even pre date the M1, going back to the 1903 Springfield. It is not a dedicated 'competition' sling, as would be one of the 'cuff' type. And you don't have to 'wrap' that type sling, the butt end is made into a sliding loop which is attached around the support arm, and used the same as most slings are . Instruction for setting up and using should be found on a M1 garand site. |
