IDF sling. A couple laps around the front sight tower with paracord and your good to go. |

Not really interested in paracord either, or bailing wire for that matter.

I use M4 side sling mounts and 2 point slings on all my ARs with standard handguards.

Yes, the mount does wiggle a little bit and will leave rub marks on the barrel. If it bugs you after it is removed you can touch it up with cold blue. |

what's wrong with the built in sling mount under the FSB?
unless you are set on the mount being at the rear of the handguards... have u considered a single point sling that mounts via a lower receiver buttplate? also, they make weaver/picatinny rails that attach to the holes in the standard handguards. not sure where u can pick them up, but i have seen them before and they feel solid. then any weaver/picatinny sling mount will work(YHM, etc.). they might even make a sling mount that utilizes one of these holes. try some google or ebay searches and see what u come up with |

I want the front of the sling to mount to the side of the rifle, not the underside. Preferrably in the rear, but I'd settle for the front too. I just want the attaching point to be solid and not polish the barrel or FSB to a fine sheen.

I run a GG&G qd sling thing on my RRA. If you have a fixed front sight it will fit fine. That is what it is designed for. The version I use has a small rail on the right side and the QD on th left side of the sight pst.

My RRA Elite CAR A4 came with the side sling mount on the barrel and it didn't move at all. I then switched it around for lefty use and I could never get it to fit tight. It did leave some smothing to the barrel's finish when I removed it completely after installing my railed forend. A rail mounted to the FSB might be better.

twonami - That appears to be the M4 side sling mount. Is this the one here?
  Others have reported shininess of the barrel due to the M4 side sling mount moving on it the barrel. I personally would like to avoid this. I know, I know, our rifles are simply tools, designed to be rolled around in the dirt with, but I still like to keep mine looking nice. |
