I'm playing around with a sling setup on my AR using the Magpul MS3 quick release 1-2 point sling.
Anyway, I've found a way to have a 1 point carry, 2 point carry, 2 point hasty, and even a one point arm wrap setup that provides a very stable shooting platform. The only down side is that my forward attachment is a standard sling swivel and when the sling isn't attached there, it tends to flop around banging against the aluminum handguard. I've looked around for something better.
The best so far is a polymer sling loop with a small o-ring jammed against the sling stud to keep it from swinging free. The plastic is a lot quieter when it strikes the handguard. The problem is that I don't trust the plastic when slung up tight and the clip from the Magpul sling does not fit very nicely onto the sling loop and if not set perfectly it tends to fall off. Not a good thing to have your rifle drop off your shoulder. (^_^)
What I'm looking for is something I can attach to the stud that offers a good anchor for the sling clip, but also has a tight enough attachment to the stud to allow for the o-ring or similar damping method to keep it from swinging free. For example, a thick split ring makes a nice attachment, but it is virtually impossible to keep from rattling.
So, any ideas?
