I just bought a RRA Predator pursuit with the FF tube and a single bipod stud. I'd have a magpul CTR stock on the lower and want to use a Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Applications Sling. How can I connect it to the rifle in the front? Do I drill another hole and put anotehr stud or is there some other way? thanks |
He wants to use a tactical sling which needs to be mounted on the side. The bottom stud is good for a parade sling or competition sling. I looked on the RRA web site and didn't see your gun so I'm not sure what your set up looks like. I pic would help here. If you have a FF tube with no rail and no front site tower, then the only thing I can think of is the forarm adapter from Blue force Gear that wraps around the forend and provides a side attachment for the Vickers sling. |

Put a sling swivel on the stud then buy (or just make) one of these. www.bravocompanyusa.com/Blue-Force-SOC-Modular-Front-Band-Adaptor-BLACK-p/blueforce%20soc%20forearms%20black.htm http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BlueForce%20SOC%20Forearms%20Black-2.jpg |

You hit it right on the money. Here is a upper I have: Predator Pursuit Upper I need to figure out how to put a tactical sling on a FF tube with no rail and no front site tower. |

Okay, I got it. You don't want to mount to the barrel because that defeats the purpose of the FF tube. The picture that is posted above is the Vickers adapter that I was talking about. You just need to put a sling swivel on your bottom stud to make that work. I guess you could drill and tap a hole in the side of the tube and put in a new stud, but I've nevers seen anyone do that. Or, that really doesn't look like a tactical entry or fighting gun but it looks like a long range or sniper gun. You could just use a competition sling like a Turner, or use your Vickers like a comp. sling. |
