rail mounted sling mount

[lurkingknight]

I see a bunch of them out there, can someone recommend me one that is solid and won't fail on me? Some of those QD ones I see don't look up to the task of holding together when you drop a heavy rifle.

has anyone out there added a sling mount to a heavy gun, what do you recommend?

I see a magpul fixed one too and just a simple loop that attaches parallel to the screw that attaches to the rail.

I also don't mind paying for a quality real steel rail mount swivel, if my 700$ gun is hanging by this thing I don't want it to fail.


cause that would really, really suck and I would be pissed off beyond words. :rocket:

Buy real steel sling mounts and you won't go wrong.

Replica stuff is not to be trusted at all

Something like this?

[lurkingknight]

yeah I was looking at that one, nothing can go wrong with it.. it's just a metal loop :P

I use the QD sling mounts (push button type) on heavy (full metal with optics etc) and very expensive guns and they're fine, even repro ones; just avoid the cheapest eBay ones of questionable origin.

The non-detachable one is fine if you're using a sling system with a QD buckle or something.

I've had every one of those push button ones fall out on me, I'd never trust them again.

Best bet is the simple solid one piece metal loop types such as what farmboy posted, also a few others in that category.

I have a Midwest Industries QD push button sling mount, used it on my C7 and C8 at work without any issues/it failing.

By far the best rail mounted sling mount for a QD swivel:

For push button this one rocks

What is interesting is there is now actual spec. for push buttons, unlike say a pic. rail.

Now if you buy a less expensive version which might not be as precise as a high end one, then throw in the fact that there is no spec................

AngelusNex -> Don't know if you bought good ones or cheap ones, I'm just adding more knowledge.

There does seem to be a certain percentage of high end ones that fail as well, whether it be the PB itself or the socket, hard to say.

probably were cheaper ones, the ones I owned were "airsoft brands" but other i tried, I don't know. I'm just VERY rough on my gear and any little pushbuttons tend to get pushed on their own allot.

I've had the Daniels defense Push button QD style for 2 years. It's great. Never had any problems with it accidentally coming lose, and it has a lug on the inside to prevent the sling from twisting.

I use this...can't go wrong..DO NOT BUY A KNOCKOFF..you'll be sorry.
