I am getting a mid length version for my build and would like to hear from current users on how they are attaching slings while using this handguard. I typically use a two-point VCAS sling (attached near the FSB) and prefer the two-point setup. I am currently using a Troy DI-MRF and attach the sling via QD swivel to the front side of the rail. Gonna try the MOE hoping for a light-weight forearm but still wanna use a two-point sling with front attachment option. I was thinking of adding a polymer MOE rail to the front side of the handguard, then attaching a QD swivel loop to that but it seems like a lot of hardware. I have concerns about the durability of the poly rail attachments to the MOE when using a sling setup as described above. I assume I will probably endup having to use a side sling adapter (an option I dread) or maybe a Magpul RSA in some configuration with a clip. Thanks in advance! :cool:

I am looking at buying a middy too, and want to use Magpul components. I am looking through this topic for ideas. Hope it helps you. http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=36421&highlight=moe+sling

I run a vcas sling on my bcm lw middy.... I have moe hg on it. I'm using an iwc(mount n slot) limited rotation mount for the front sling mount and a tangodown pr-4 mount for the rear. The iwc sling mount works great but do to the mid length hg not having slots to the rear I drilled the holes for the mount so it would sit closer to the delta ring. Set up works great.

I also like a 2 point sling and have the moe handguard on my middy.
Here is my simple setup that works just fine - (for ME) :)
