Well having my 20" AR for a few months now, im starting to want a sling. Its a 20" with flat top and i have a scope attached, it has a fixed FSB, the 20" J&T kit (VERY HAPPY WITH IT). Now should i just go with normal GI sling to attach to the butt and to the front? Or is there a better and more confortable way? I also have harris bipod on it, which blocks my front swivel. I see haris includes one, is that made to attch to the bipod then use for the sling? Having used my friends AR with a sling i noticed that it does not sit on the back the most confortable (flat). I thought i remember seing some other way such as using 550 wraped around the but to achieve a more flat position. Thanks |

The Harris provides for attaching a QD sling swivel to it. I don't see why that wouldn't be safe, unless you're worried about the strength of the stud's attachment to the rifle. I'm a little concerned about the one screwed into the aluminum HG on my V-match, but I think the adapter on regular HGs would be fine. I've never really used a sling on mine with the bipod, but as I recall from trying it out years ago it wasn't all that comfortable as a strap. I don't think it would work well as a shooting support either because it wouldn't let you get the sling against the back of your hand. I didn't try "African carry" (muzzle down on support side) but that would probably work OK. |
