Looking to get my first sling for my AR, so I've been looking at a lot of setups to figure out which way to go.  Complicating things is the Redi-mag I have on my rifle.  It seems most folks are anchoring the forward end of the sling close to the reciever which will interfere with reloads using the Redi-mag.  So, what type of 2 point sling are folks running with their Redi-mags?  How much of a hassle would it be running a sling from the back of the reciever to the muzzle end of the forearm?

I'm currently thinking of a dual purpose sling, 2 point and single point such as the Magpul MS2, or BDS Tactical dual sling so I have the option to try both configurations.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

No - it doesn't. -from doing alot of reloads from the redi-mod.

BTW - Get a Vickers adj. padder sling - you'll see why -

I agree as well. I use a wilderness 2 point giles type and mount the front strap close to the reciever on the side rail and it works fine for me. I would like a MS2 best of both I think!

I run the MS2 with Redimag on an SBR. I constantly switch from single point to 2 point and back, swiftly ,with no problems.
I am using the MI non rotating swivel for the 2 point configuration. I find it easier than trying to capture a rotating swivel with the MS2 snap. Assuming your front attach point is on a quad rail, it will be above your Redimag.

Thanks guys.

I really figured it would be more of a problem with the sling blocking the path of travel from the forearm back to the Redi-mag. Looks like I'll give it a shot.
