I'm new to the ar world. I have magpul mlok SL furniture and I need some sling attachment advice from experienced users.
Yesterday, with the use of paracord slotted through the mlok holes I figured out that I like the sling at the back of the handguard on the left side. And for the buttstock I like it mounted on the right hand side where the QD is located.
I cannot decided, nor do I have experience with any QD, Paraclip, or Mash hook attachment. I only have experience with hunting rifle sling mounts.
What I liked about the loose paracord was that the sling fell out of the way and/or moved with me as I brought it to shoulder. I hate to say it, but the paracord on the rear stock was really comfortable. I can't use it on the foregrip because it's touching the barrel and I suspect it will melt.
So for the rear I am thinking either maglok QDM, or the paraclip adapter with either a paraclip or mashhook. I am uncertain how either of those will perform on the buttstock. Will the device get in the way? How dependable is a QD? Will the mashook even fit in the paraclip adapter?
On the handguard I was considering the maglok GI sling mount just to keep it simple, but I liked the looseness of the paracord and how it moved as the gun was raised and lowered. So now I'm looking at the mlok paraclip mount and (again) either the paraclip or mashhook.
I'm not certain if the mashhook is compatible with the paraclip mount -- will it even fit or move freely enough?. And I'm not certain how secure the paraclip or QD is. So any experience and advice is welcome!
These are the items I am thinking of:
For the handguard:

GI swivel

Paraclip

Mash Hook

For the buttstock:
Paraclip adapter

Magpul QDM

Or just use paracord for the rear.
Is there anything else I should consider? How much swivel is on the QD mounts?
Thanks again!
