Alea iacta est |
Didn’t have much to do this morning and I really want to ability to have a forward sling mount. I know I can buy one, but it’s just not something I wish to do right now. Looking in the safe I see an old stock with a sling mount. Off with the m-log hand guard, and a few minutes later I had a screw set from the inside. A little locktite blue in hopes it doesn’t wiggle loose. It seems to function just as I hoped it would. Switch to the forward point and I can get a very sturdy hold on the rifle. I also see in the photos, I need to move my flashlight back to the forward position, and lock the quick disconnect. Pretty happy with it, for Free-99. The “lol” thread | ||

Is there anything to stop it from unscrewing itself? What am I missing? | |||

To stop it from unscrewing itself, some blue loctite, lots of torque, hopes, and dreams. At some point I’ll spend the $$$ for an M-Lok mount. The “lol” thread | |||

Like this one? It would work well with your hook attachment and be a bit lower profile. https://magpul.com/m-lok-paraclip-sling-mount.html I use this mount for the hooks and MLOK. It is the smallest of this type I’ve found. It’s https://toughtacticaltools.com...r-paracod-loop-sling Props on being crafty, BTW. Why not just put a nut on it? I see that mount twisting soon, since it doesn’t slot into the MLOM slot. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

FEV, yes, the para clip is exactly what I need. It’s just not something that I can pick up at this time. (A Thanks for recognizing my craftiness. That’s like the best compliment ever to me. I haven’t put a nut on it, because I definitely have one. Amongst 50 lbs of other random unassorted nuts and bolts all under 3/8”. So not totally unassorted, but it’s two full toolboxes that’s about a cubic foot. Thanks, I know what I’m doing this afternoon and into the evening. lol. The “lol” thread | |||

Check your email. I'm digging the Mossberg lower, BTW. It weirds me out to see that logo on an AR, but in a good way. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

Replied. I’m pleasantly surprised by how well it shoots. First time out I was at 140 or 160 yards with irons sights and ringing a small steel plate. This was prior to a LaRue trigger. The stock trigger was shitty. It’s incredibly better with the LaRue trigger. I’m excited to post up some pics when I make it out to the range, hopefully tomorrow if this dastardly storm goes away. FEV, thank you. The “lol” thread | |||

Due to an instant karma from FEV, I have a kick ass para-clip on my rifle. The DIY was okay, but it was a matter of time before it came loose. This one will not come loose. Thanks FEV! This made my day! The “lol” thread | |||

That looks great and very functional! ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.
