I've got a Noveske that needs a sling. The rails and stock already have QD mounts, so I'm considering using those. Are they sturdy enough for a heavy carbine (Noveske Recon w/ UBR stock and NF 2.5-10x)? It weighs in at about 10lbs.

My main fear is that I'll trust it only to have it fail, as the QD swivels seem... small and fragile, for lack of a better word.

Also, if QD is perfectly fine, any good starting points for QD swivel-type slings?

Thanks.
