Hi all. Looking to build a mount for a sling that would attach to the front sight area.  I am wondering if there is any dammage done to the sight by something simmilar to the Front sling thing.  Looking at making a two plastic pieces that would join with a sling mount.  Anyone ever done this before?  Not wanting to spend to much since I am both frugal and broke.

Yes it has been done before and the 'blueprints' and directions are posted!

The flashlight mount (2nd article) is based on the sling mount, but the 2nd article adds step-by-step directions and some good building tips.
