    Nice build! I'm really looking forward to mine getting here.

    Re: front sling point - I'm probably going with a short rail section and a CQB Forward Mount at the rear end of mine, but I'm wondering if ar15performance is using a standard plumbing nut for theirs. If they are, maybe it's available in brass, too?

    The more I think about it the more tempted I am to go full awn white trash and just thread the heaviest duy key ring I can find through a couple of the holes to act as a loop to attach a HK hook to.

    I just can't bring myself to attach a piece of rail, then buy a sling mount to mount to that rail, all just to snap a sling to.

    I'll keep on looking, still have to pick up a sling to put on whatever mount I end up with.


    edit: Redneck is as redneck does. Had to give it a shot to see if it would even work.




    Figure folks have been using 550 cord and plastic buckles to hold slings together for years, this might just hold up for a while, just have to see. Sure it might fail spectacularly in the "rappel down a cliff using nothing but your rifle sling" test, so I'll just have to avoid that one.

    I may go completely crazy and thread some heat shrink tubing on there so it doesn't rattle, have to see.

    I'll probably end up TIG welding a loop to a socket head screw and just using a washer to center it in the hole and a cut down Troy backer to hold it all together. It'll be a couple weeks till I'm back in the shop though, got some surgery to go through tomorrow morning that's going to keep me off my feet for a while.

    I'll post pics when I come up with something.

    Why not mount the Daniel Defense Offset Sling Adapter on the top rail? Wouldn't that position it close to where your key ring was? I haven't used one, but it looks like it is short enough not to interfere with a sight picture or anything like that.

    Sonofa... <facepalm>

    You my friend are a genious, why didn't I see it before? Guess I got stuck thinking in one dimension, that a sling mount had to go on the side of the tube. The DD mount on the top rail should be perfect. Damn, how did I miss that?

    No sarcasm, just kicking myself for not seeing the answer right there in front of me. Thanks.

    I was taking a shot in the dark, but I'm glad it helped.

    Very cool. I really like the 11" Troy I used on my wifes ultra light AR. How much for the 10" LaRue you removed?
