Hey guys,

I just got an upper with the DD 7 inch rail. I need a sling mount for it. I have a MI heavy sling mount and swivel on my 416. Is there a setup that I am overlooking? I am going to be running a Vickers sling.

I've only had it out once, but I like the new Gear Sector QD socket so far...

Are you running rail panels on it and if so which brand/type? That would help determine which of the available mount options would work best for you.

Greg,

What kind of attachment point do you want to use? QD swivel? HK hook? ITW mash?

If you need just the front mount, MI has a bunch of options: http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=80

As does DD: http://www.danieldefense.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=4

And VTAC has two, one that is QD only that you mount on the top rail and points to the side, and then another that has a sling loop, sling swivel, HK loop, and QD swivel socket for the side rail:

Top rail, side facing, QD only: http://vikingtactics.com/prod_vtac_lpsm.html
Combo side mount: http://vikingtactics.com/prod_vtac_lusa.html

Last, but not least, there's also a few options from Gear Sector: http://www.gearsector.com/browse/category/mounts/picatinny-rail-mounts/

I use a MI side rail QD mount in front and a Daniel Defense QD mount on the buffer tube with a Vickers 2 point Quick release sling.

The VTAC mount is a good recommendation for the 7" rail.
