Looking for a sling mount for a barrel type sling mount other than the front sight post A2 type

I have a drop in type fore grip, do have rails on them but I thought I seen somewhere mounting a sling on a drop in type doesn't work that good. So I have been looking for other opt. I know I could use a A2 type sight but I sorta would not like to use the sight because I have a flat top upper. Just not sure what is al lout there. Thanks Roy

If you could post a picture, it would help.  There is nothing wrong with attaching your sling to a drop in hand guard.  IWC has a couple choices and there is always Blue Force Gear. Search for sling mounts at some of the sponsors.  There are many to choose from.

It's OK to mount a sling adapter on a drop-in.

Taken to the extreme, the drop-ins are not as strong in that regard as a non-drop-in, but I've seen drop-ins take a ton of abuse.

SEALs use a drop in handguard on the Mk18 Mod0. IMO they are as sturdy, just don't offer extra accuracy or the ability to mount optics on them that retain zero.
