lackgunCO 1 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 What type of set up have you used to attach a sling on the front of the gun if you kept the stock Saiga handguard? I've got a Tapco buttstock with the side sling mount. Would like to rig up something to work with the stock h/g and be able to use a side mounted 2 point sling. Pics of what you have done would be great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
antiacus 0 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) So you need a loop attachment in the rear and swivel attachment in the front. Check this one out. http://missionspec.com/products/ias-irene-adaptive-sling/ disclaimer: i haven't used this yet, i'll be purchasing it in the next week or so and using it in the same application that you are.

Pics of what you have done would be great! I to would like to know. I have the same set up and the front swivel is for a 3/4 sling, and I have several 1'' slings and don't want to use 3/4 any way. I guess the people who keep the oem hand guard just use the cheap $5 generic slings with leather tabs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Milsurp works. Seen the leather ended SKS slings on stock hand guards too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I had to finagle the factory swivel a bit to allow the clip to slide from side to side, but I did what NM0 did. A more cost-intensive solution would be to get a clip attachment point like Ace's CSM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Straydog 18 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I replaced the stock swivel stud which has a screw that retains the stud from the outside and blocks the hole for any type of quick release. I bought an uncle mikes 10-32 thread swivel stud and tapped it all the way to the eye and cut off about half the thread. threads right in and has the open hole so you can use 1 or 1 1/2' shoulder sling qiuck releases. I use mine for mounting my bipod picatinney plate which also has an eye for a shoulder sling. Will try to get some pics for viewing. Hope this helps ya.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saiganov_raz 11 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I now use a single-point blackhawk sling but when I had my 3-point sling I just ignored the front sling loop and wrapped the sling around the barrel with the straps included with the sling. I've also seen a lot of guys just drill 2 holes and attatch a shotgun picatinny rail to the bottom of the stock handguards. It looks great and also allows the use of a vertical grip, flash light, bipod or even a laser. Not to mention picatinny rail adapters for sling swivels. I added a rail to my stock handguard but then as soon as I rigged that up I got a quad rail and single point. So it looks good but I can't attest to its durability. There's a lot of options out there and it wouldn't be hard to rig something up. Just hit the drawing board and come up with some ideas. You can even run options thru us forum guys and see if anybodys tried it and make sure it's not a fail waiting to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PFerris 76 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Just slip a slip ring through the hole on your present front mount hole and us a mil sup ak sling with the clip on one end attached to the slip ring. Just like NMO has his rigged above. You probably have and old key ring with a decent slip ring on it laying around. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Minkman 24 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I just realized my retainer had a sling "mount" but it didn't fit so I just used a black zip tie -- looks great Edited January 29, 2013 by Minkman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tbryanh 11 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I used an eye hook to attach the sling. The eyehook goes all the way through to the other side. There is a fender washer and nut on the other side. Edited February 16, 2013 by tbryanh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tbryanh 11 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Here is a picture of the other side of the foregrip. Edited February 16, 2013 by tbryanh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tbryanh 11 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I used a 3/16" x 2-1/2" eye-bolt and two 3/16" fender washers. Since the eye-bolt is too thick for the sling to hook onto, I put a couple of key rings between the eye-bolt and the sling hook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
