Dentonboy Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 A TM mag coupler should work, or any other generic M4 one. You can get a buffer tube sling mount, but you need to take the tube off IIRC. And that requires a specialised tool too. A front sling RIS mount would give you two mounting points for a 2 or 3 point sling.

So - would you trust a £500 rif to a £7 sling plate? https://urbanairsoftuk.com/product/nuprol-gbb-m4-sling-plate/ Or am I being overly cautious?
Dentonboy Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Personally I'd buy a better brand, such as Magpul or another RS maker, but each to their own.
Davegolf Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I cant vouch for that product but if it is made of stamped steel you shoudl be fine, id only worry if it is cast pot alloy. I tend to buy proper RS AR sling mount or use Magpul RSA mounts for up front, and either sling wrap the stock or use the attachment points on the stock cos i dont get on with the sling being so close to my trigger hand

I can't find the magpul plates in stock anywhere in the UK - Any other brands I can look for?
Wo1f Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 If you look on eagle6 I’m sure you can get a couple of designs. I’ve had a QD one and a cqbr one with two big loops.

Found one and ordered - I'm going to be so excited every time the door knocks for at least the next week at this rate :-D
Davegolf Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Better to have your Christmas in march these days, at least it snows

I’ve fitted aftermarket ones and they needed a little bit of filing to slide on. They’re simple fixes, but why fix something when you’ve the option of fitting one that goes straight on.
