Hey everybody, I have one final part to source to finalise my Luftlande G36KA4 build… The B&T Rail mounted sling loop. B&T won’t ship to the UK, so looking for somewhere in the UK that has one, or a replica of said sling mount. 
 

Anybody know of any replicas, or have any sources for one?

Me again

 

I've not seen any replicas of the B&T sling mount, you could probably do a diy replica if you had basic measurements (B&T has a wireframe of the CAD on their webstie iirc) 

 

A HK sling mount should be kosher too iirc, and may be easier to find.

I spent a good few hours looking at rail mounted sling mounts and yeah, I found nothing similar at all. Annoyingly the guys I'm building an impression on all happen to have the B&T mount haha

I have some other little bits to sort out on the rifle anyway, such as getting the barrel length shortened by about .5", getting the outer barrel the correct thickness/colour and getting the correct flash hider fitted. Gives me some time to knock out a 3d print of one until I can source a real one haha

 

Found this while shopping for the zenit style ones - this the style you're after? Couldn't find an image of the B&T one at the same angle so I couldn't figure if it was similar or not lol

Have you tried HK Parts in the US? https://hkparts.net/stocks-braces-slings/b-t-sling-swivel-universal-picatinny-attachment/

Would one of these mounts be of any use?

It's close, but the B&T one is in the middle.

Yeah, I'm aware they have them but it's a bit much imho once shipping and fees are added!

Got a few of those knocking about, the Bundeswehr G36KA4 has a specific rail mount for their A4 rail and because I want to be as clone correct as possible, I may have to suck it up and get the proper thing ?
