Dual point sling, that can’t tightened or loosened to either store close to body or extended to be able to raise and shoot with sling still around you. I don’t hunt with AR but if I would I’d do the same as I do with my rifle just sling it tight on back and climb.
The options are kind of overwhelming. Single-point slings are very common and very frustrating, but they probably work OK in a saddle. My preference is an adjustable 2-point sling. I prefer the front attachment to be on the handguard as close to the magwell as possible, and the rear attachment in line with the receiver extension. Either on a receiver end plate or on the stock. QD slings are nifty but they have the bad habit of disconnecting themselves so I've taken to using HK hooks if I want to be able to easily disconnect it (slings and gun safes don't mix well) and just weaving it through the triglides if i don't. Paracord makes excellent forend sling attachment points.
I was looking at the QD attachment. Coming off in the saddle was a big concern for me. I have that kinda luck. So this is the style stock I have on the back. So the ones with the triglide on one end, and then you use some Paracord to attach on the front?? Girth hitch a loop? Or run it thru an opening. I'll have to look at the barrel and see what's there.
I'd route the webbing through the slots on the bottom left of your picture. Assuming it fits with the stock in place. With a Magpul stock I assume you have a magpul forend, I'll find a picture of what I would do.
QD’s are legit, I’ve used them in intense combat and have never had one pop out.for the rear that looks like a hogue or similar which I have and I run it through over top, never have the sling run across the shoulder part.
I've had a few QDs let go on me, thankfully on the range. Used both Magpul and GrovTec; went all-in on them about 12 years ago on a bunch of different long guns. I think I still have 1 or 2 in use but I've gradually been reverting to either lacing the sling directly to the rifle or the old-school Uncle Mike's swivels, but I'm recently starting to employ the HK hooks. I put a sling with an Uncle Mike's swivel on my xbow and tore my T-shirt up while leaning against the toe of the stock while cocking it. Pulled the swivel and tied a Turk's head on the "buffer tube" with 2" loop, with lanyard knot. To attach an HK hook or catch a soft shackle or girth hitch. If I decide I want a totally-silent all-paracord sling.
So I'm the type person who will most always fix/attempt to fix most anything but there are some things I just rather hire it done.....this was 1 of the things I just didn't have any desire to tinker with. I have multiple mags and could have started modifying magazines but just kinda didn't want to. I don't have a place I can readily go to shoot and also not that much free time to be going to the public range about an hours drive away. I asked dude the cheapest, quickest, easiest way to have a functioning firearm that's good for killing deers and stuff and followed his suggestions
Quick derailment here…what piece of hardware are you using for the adjuster? Looks like a heavy tri-glide? I’ve cobbled together a couple of these type slings but have never been happy with the adjuster hardware…mine seem too easy to break, though I haven’t actually broken one…yet.. thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction!
It’s one of the nexus triglides I use on the leg straps of saddles. Nexus makes the best plastic hardware I’ve found. Definitely not going to break on you. I put a pull tab on it and it adjust easily.
