Looking for two point sling options using M4 handguards (No rail for a side sling mount). I am looking for what brands/configurations that will work. Also pics would be awesome if you have them. Currently I am thinking of a viking sling and just using the FSB.

You can buy a side sling mount that attaches to the FSB.

Vickers 2pt is what I have on all my tacticool rifles...even my SKS.

I used the Gear Sector stock adapter (GS-2210) on the front of my Bushie Patrolman, I tightened down about midway on the handguard and then pulled it back till it was tight enough not to move.
I used the carbine mount (GS-3010) on the rear with the Gear Sector 2pt. sling. Works great so far and gives plenty of adjustment over my vest and duty gear.

What makes the Vickers such a good sling?

I have one and don't really see the awesomeness of it.

Am I just not using it properly???

I love my Vickers. It is very comfortable and adjusts super fast. I have one on each of my AR's.

Another method in attaching the sling to the FSB is the Universal Wire Loop adapter (UWL) made by Blue Force Gear.

If you don't have any mounting hardware yet just temporarily use a paracord.

I've got the Viking Tactics, Vickers, and Gear Sector GS-2P two point slings.

I use my Viking mostly when working outdoors using my hands, the sling could be adjusted tightly on the body and quickly better than my other slings.

Also the Viking will have a dangling strap end when it is shortened which bothers some people but I don't get bothered by it.

I just ordered the GS-2PT Carbine Edition, can't offer any comparison. I added an H&K Adapter to attach to a CAR Tactical Lock Plate on the rear. Will use the included adapter to attach to my front side sling mount. I hope it is a good one!

You might want to take a look at the Boonie Packer TQA sling. I love mine. I also added the Silent Front Sling Mount so i didn't have to add any other hardware to the front of my M4. The 1.5 inch wide M4 kit @$ 18.00 plus the FSSM @$8.50 gives you a top notch comfortable and very easy to adjust 2 point sking for $26.50 and that includes shipping too! I have nothing but good things to say about Dave and the quality of his work and design. After all it was Dave and a Boonie Packer that inspired several others to come up with their version of Daves sling.

I like the Vickers because the adjuster is simple, one tab tightens and the same loosens.  Also the tightening tab does not get longer and dangle like the GS 2P.
