Product Information:

The sling swivels on the M16/AR15 rifle are found in the same location as those of the Model 1873 Trapdoor Springfield, and every U.S. infantry rifle in between. Always placed on the underside of these rifles, there can be no doubt that this tradition comes out of the early U.S. Army emphasis on dismounted drill from the parade ground. With the appearance of the CAR-15 and its collapsible stock, the rear sling-mounting point was improved somewhat by placing it on the top of the stock.
All of this has changed dramatically in recent years as special operations personnel and law enforcement SWAT teams have emphasized the importance of transitioning to the service sidearm without discarding the shoulder-mounted weapon and the need to have both hands free to operate ancillary equipment or control adversaries and still maintain instant accessibility to the urban rifle. It was for this reason that tactical slings, such as the superb 3 point Sling, were developed. Its now generally accepted that tactical slings should be mounted on the side of the weapon.
The GG&G Sling Things provide a lightweight, durable, easy-to-install and inexpensive method to do so. The standard front Sling Thing and install easily onto the M16/AR15s A-frame front sight assembly, on either the right or left sides using socket head cap screws. Mounted high in this manner, rifle roll is completely prevented.
