You are smart to stay away from the 3 point, "tactical" and "Giles Stock" type slings. They are more dangerous than helpful, IMO. A single attachment point is probably ideal for your run and gun matches I think. Regarding the Magpul cinches and multiple magazines, 30rd and drum magazines: My favorite are the 20rd mags, as Uncle Sam intended. The rear 40L sight was chosen just because I liked it. No ACOG or any other high dollar toys in my future! |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: You Tommy Tactical name-dropping GunGeek! Why...thank you Jerry...that's quite the nicest thing that anyone's said to me in ages. I've tried several different sling arrangements, and have settled on a simple single-point sling with an HK-type hook attachment to the loop at the front of my Magpul stock. I also like to be able to quickly and easily detach the sling when shooting, and reattach when finished. The only thing I didn't like with the push-button QD sling swivels is that the swivels "swivel", allowing the sling to twist up, but that's not a big deal. I tried and dismissed right away a 3-point sling...the part of the sling that goes the length of the rifle just got in the way of everything. Your Counterpoise System sounds very interesting...I am going to look into that. I don't hear anyone talking about it here. I have considered the D ring under the extractor, but haven't bothered yet as I clean the bolt every couple of hundred rounds which also ensures reliability, of course. I'm trying to get the LaRue Tactical mount for my EOTech, which is also cam-mounted. It also raises the EOTech about a 1/4" or so. I want it not so much to 'lower' the irons to the bottom area of the sight, but to raise the EOTech itself, which I find uncomfortably low. We have "banned" the use of mag-couplers in our Tac Rifle matches, btw. One gamer taped 6 mags together SxS for his SIG 550 which was a bit ridiculous. Did you buy the ARMS 40L with a view to using a scope or somesuch? ACOG's are the hot ticket for the more wealthy gamers in our matches. Mike
