QD Sling Mounts with Level 10 Handguard and Side-Charging Handle?

[Hunter308 6]

If you went with a QD setup for your sling and have a handguard like the Level 10 with the side-charging handle... could you post a picture of it here and your thoughts about the setup, please? (For my MKA 1919, I'm going to use the mounting point in my Magpul CTR stock for the rear location.)

Could you put a swivel stud into the holes that were tapped for a bottom rail? Or if you have a full bottom rail, use a picatinny sling mount.

Just change the butt stock and use a single point sling.

If you have a FB stock.You can add a single point sling right here.I did it on this side because I am left handed.You would just mount it on the other side for a right handed app.

I don't have mine yet, but I intend to use a T&N forend with full rail on bottom. I will be trying one of these sling mounts along that bottom rail for a front mounting point.

Thanks, YamaDog35. I have no interest in a single-point setup. I've been thinking about the bottom two in your picture, particularly the middle one of the three in the photo. With the middle one, mounted on the top rail, I'm thinking I'd have "hand clearance" to work the side-charging handle (as needed). I hadn't thought about mounting it underneath.

If you get this, let us know how it works. I won't have my T&N forend for a little while so if you try this sling mount and it sucks, you can save me some money

I ended up getting Blue Force Gear (Vickers) padded slings for both my MKA 1919 and my .458 SOCOM. I used Midwest Industries "Heavy Duty Flush Button QD Swivel" (four of them, of course, from Brownells -- 100-008-814WB), a VTAC-RSM for my SOCOM's forward mount and a Midwest Industries "QD Front Sling Adapter" for my MKA 1919. The latter I mounted to the top of my Tooth and Nail Level 10 handguard at the farthest position forward. I really like the slings; they were easy to set up and they're very easy to use.

 

Just FYI, I didn't go with the stock backplate that came with the RSM when I mounted it to the VTAC handguard on my SOCOM. Instead, I ordered different mounts so I could use the backplates that came with them, per this thread.

For the MKA 1919, I'm happy with the "clearance" I have in being able to use the charging handle on the Level 10 handguard without interference from the sling.

 

Just thought I'd post how things turned out.
