A little odd how they call it an "mp5" sling yet it doesn't fit an Mp5 sling mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky vimto Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I've got the same one, just put a ring through the sling mount then it should work fine. A little odd how they call it an "mp5" sling yet it doesn't fit an Mp5 sling mount. I'll try that tomorrow, at work tonight Yea it's too wide to fit through the sling mount on the stock. I find it really tight, is it supposed to be like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky vimto Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Tried a keyring, wore it for a minute and didn't like the way it was messing up the Metal. I've gone with cable ties and seems to do the job. Still, not really the way I wanted to wear the sling but I've paid for it so it'll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted October 28, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 28, 2013 I generally go with a loop of paracord when it comes to fitting slings to overly-narrow sling mounts on guns. Problem is that so many designs of airsoft guns are based on very, very old iterations of the real firearms and the slings used back in those days were much simpler affairs that just threaded a 1-2" canvas/webbing strap directly through the mounts on the weapon á la the famous L85 3-point. The advantage with paracord vs a keyring, or any other metal or plastic solution, is that you'll get zero rattle or scratching from the interface device. Also greater flexibility, greater options for customisation (i.e. unlimited, it's just string after all) and IMO it just 'fits' better aesthetically.

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted October 28, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 28, 2013 So far 6mm carabiners have worked for me to connect slings to various G36's, various AK iterations, and my SVD front mount. The locking ones probably aren't necessary but the extra security feels reassuring to me They're also damn handy for hanging gloves off webbing Linky A short 1" webbing strap with an eye loop as well as a buckle would probably be most aesthetically pleasing - i'm not at home right now, but in a few days i'll check what bits i have on my kit sewing shelf. I may be able to make you one out of stuff i already have, so it'd be cheap to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Lozart Posted October 29, 2013 Supporters Share Posted October 29, 2013 Ye I got the standard for that very reason just need to find a compatible metal recover now Ah right, my mates one is the fibre re-enforced nylon one. Honestly by the time you've spent the money on a metal receiver and gone through the joy of fitting it you'd have been better served getting a GC 16 Raider or similar. Not much more money and almost all metal. Still, enjoy the gun. They're nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd actually prefer G&G Nylon Fiber ABS stuff to fool metal. Unless you're getting a G&P or VFC or whatever high end CNC 6061 body stay with Stock one. Everything else is probably Pot metal and that's a big downgrade to the Nylon ABS one. almurry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
