GG&G Receiver Sling Attachment Adapters
Tactical Slings attached to the
M16/AR15 Carbine at a single mounting point, without the use of the front sling
swivel, have become quite popular recently in both military and law enforcement
special operations circles. These systems permit the operator to mount the
weapon on either the primary or offside shoulder. As a result, during
dynamic entries it becomes easier to "slice the pie" at doorways and
move around corners, whether they are on the right or left side, without "telegraphing"
the operator's presence.
GG&G now manufactures a
Receiver End Plate Sling Adapter for this purpose. With this innovative
accessory the operator can now attach the sling directly behind the receiver, in
front of the collapsible buttstock. This only requires replacement of the
receiver end plate with the new end plate containing an integral sling mounting
point.
This series of GG&G Receiver
End Plate Sling Adapters can also be used to attach a conventional sling in
conjunction with the front sling swivel. A significant advantage of this
set up is that expanding or collapsing the buttstock does not affect the sling
length. If you wear body armor, a tactical vest or a jacket, you no longer
need to re-adjust the sling length due to the extra apparel.
GG&G offers several Receiver
End Plate Sling Adapters for collapsible stocks. They are designed for
professional use being machined from 4140 ordnance steel and are manganese
phosphated black per mil-spec. They can easily be installed by the
operator. One of our Receiver End Plate Sling Adapters has a rectangular
sling slot that will accept sling webbing up to 1 1/4" wide, such as The
Wilderness Single-Point Tactical Sling. It is available in right hand,
left hand and an ambi version. Our Looped version sling attachment
features ambidextrous mounting rings for attaching spring-loaded clips like
those found on the Chalker Tactical Sling or the Heckler & Koch
combat-carry-type slings.
