| I want a single point sling (Gear sector) and a H&K snap hook. What are the opinions of a clamp on style like the Tango Down PR4? I have a LMT with the SOPMOD and the castle nut is staked. Do I want to take the receiver extension off and use a standard end plate or are the clamp on variety just as good. I put a sling plate by YHM on my Bushy already but I don't know if I want to break the staking on the LMT if the clamps are tough enough. Any advise is welcome as well as makes and models. Thanks guys! |

eddymunster, Either type of sling mount will suit your needs. The clamp on type are quicker and easier to install. They are most commonly sought after / used by LE/MIL groups on pool weapons. We offer the Midwest Industries unit for just this purpose. It encapsulates the castle nut and locks down with a single allen head screw while providing dual rings for use with our H&K stubs. Single point receiver end plates take longer to install. They provide a psuedo-permanent sling loop. They are usually less obtrusive and therefore preferred in most cases. It boils down to personally preference.

I went ahead and broke the staking and scratched the shit out of the castle nut, but I got it off. I went with a YHM adapter. I will use a GEAR SECTOR single point and a H&K snap hook. I don't want to have a piece of webbing hanging off my rifle when I'm not using the sling. I replaced the castle nut and I am good to go. The Bushy nut came off quite easily, The LMT was not too bad other than the big ass scratch. I used some locktite for now and if it fails I will stake the castle nut on. Thanks for the input and, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY |
There is another option for keeping your weapon stub free... Pictured above is the Daniel Defense QD Swivel Mount and our GEN II auxiliary stub.
