Has anybody mounted a sling to the top rail (Optic rail) of their M4/M16

[Gibbo]

Has anybody every mounted a sling to the top rail (Optic rail) of an M4, Because my current gun with a single point sling it just a little abouve the ground and I would like it to be higher. But on my gun the only sling mount is at the back of full stock so I was wondering if I could attack a sling monut to the top rail and have the sling attached there.

But are top rails strong enough to hold the weight of the Gun

Thanks

It'll hang weirdly if you sling it off the carry handle, and it'll get in the way of sights etc. If you've got a railed front end, get a weaver sling mount?

It wouldn't hang right and would get in the way I reckon.

Get something like this: http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/produc...oducts_id=1645

It will wrap tightly round the narrowest part of the stock near the receiver and give you a better mount position.

I've also seen metal adaptors that will fit round that part of a solid stock too, but I couldn't find a Z1 link!

The stock tube sling mounts are the way ahead, especially with single point slings.

A Magpul ASAP single point sling mount should solve your problems, theyre also very handy as they let you switch the gun from either side very quickly, ideal for ambidexterous shooters like me who like to flip it from shoulder to shoulder for shooting round corners.

I use a Magpul RSA on the top rail of my TM G36 Recoil because I'm left handed and the ideal point for a single point is on the wrong side of the gun. It works perfectly for me and doesn't even get in the way of my iron sights.

Magpul RSA for the win, or Asap plate

He mentions full stock in his post, so I assume solid stock. Some of those adaptors will only fit buffer tubes, he'll need a specific version. A Magpul ASAP won't fit!
