I have decided to go with the new Magpul MS2 sling. I just got one for my AR and love it. Best one-point sling I have ever used. Now, I want one for the Krink. So, here is the problem. As far as running it one-point there is no problem, but if I want to run it two-point the clasp will not fit in the Krink's sling mount up front. So, at the moment I simply put the thickest key ring I could find through the mount. It works, but I just don't know if the keyring can handle the weight for long.
You guys got any suggestions? |
Yeah, I thought about paracord and of course that would be the simpliest and cheapest way to go. Here is the sling. If you're not familiar with it the clamp on the right goes to the buttstock and the clamp to left goes to the front.
I thought about one of these, but not sure if it will fit through the sling mount on the Krink.

Oh lord.....please don't use those detachable sling mounts. That would look terrible on a Krink. Go with the paracord, or see if your local hardware store has some sort of small ring that you could modify and paint black to use in place of the key ring. Start with the aisle where they sell all the chain link. Many of times have I walked the aisles of my hardware store looking for something that I could customize for some project, but gun and non-gun related.
Your sling looks like really good quality, but I'm a little puzzled as to why they made it with the super-size attachments. They look strong enough to carry a loaded GE Mini Gun. 
HK-style attachements like the one below would have made so much more sense. Dieter CQD sling I use an original Bulgarian sling on my Bulgarian Krink, which is my GoTo rifle, but have even been contemplating the Dieter CQD myself, as I like the quick-detach feature.

Okay, Tactical T you convinced me. I went par-cord. My buttstock is wrapped in green, so I went with green up front. I tried it out on my MS2 sling I already have and it seems to do the job.
I prefer the one-point system. If I were to have to hike or just standing around waiting to shoot, the 2-point is good. After moving to the front hook up I can simply push the rifle over my shoulder and it's on the back and out of the way. When it's time to go just pull the buttstock back to the front and there she is. I was shocked to see the difference of weight distribution from 1point to 2point. But I like shooting with the 1point the best. Sling is suppose to be here tomorrow. I will then post pics, cause I changed the Aimpoint to a Sig red dot and the weight dropped considerably with that modification. |
