AR15 accessories

[SomeKid]

Hey folks, I am looking for two things to put on my AR, and if you can help, please tell me where to go.

First, I need a good sling. I saw this one kind that would hold it in front of you, in a ready to grab/use position. (Not the standard shoulder sling.) I have no idea what it is called, but it looked very useful.

The second item I want, is just a bayonet. Not exactly the most useful modern weapon, but I like sharp things.

If anyone cares (or it matters0 what rifle I have, this is it.

Thanks for any help.

Bayonet won't fit on a 16" carbine with CAR-length gas system.

For slings, go here: http://thewilderness.com/catalog/default.php/cPath/1

You probably want a Giles or Single-Point.

slings

You might try they have some good 3 point tactical slings. I think that's what your looking for.

As far as slings go you could always make your own for less money. Here's a couple of options.

+1 on spectergear. i have a spectergear (formerly cqb solutions) sling on all my ARs, except my NM which has a turner sling.

I see that you are in Tennessee. Check out http://www.TacticalResponseGear.com as they are in your neighborhood and will have lots of slings on hand. Their staff are top notch and will be helfpul in getting you the right sling. Also their training is great so make sure you take a course, as training is the best accessory for that rifle.

DSG Arms has altered M7 bayos that fit the carbine length. They come with the M10 sheath. A bit pricey at $59 but sure looks good. I like pointy things on rifles too.

If you're unsure of whether you want a one, two or three point sling, you can get a Blue Force Gear SOC sling, which allows you to use any one of the three methods. Very well made sling system.

I better swallow some pride before I spend more money...

I checked the website on my rifle, it makes no mention of a bayonet lug. Any quick easy way to check if my rifle has it or not?

The Giles looks like what I want for a sling, and the CQB looks identical. Now I just need to make sure I get the right one for my rifle.

...picking gun accessories, not rocket science, harder than rocket science.

Bayo lug is that thing you see under the forward part of the front sight base.

Dr Pain you're welcome. I have homemade slings on all my rifles now.

I have an Israeli patrol sling from DSG Arms in TX on my Colt AR-15A3. If you want to mount a bayonet on a 16" carbine, DPMS sells a bayonet lug that clamps on the battel ahead of the front sight tower, which will allow you to use a standard pig sticker.

Bayo Options for carbines

As I understand it:

1. 14.5" barrel w/permanent FH attached.

2. 16" barrel w/FH and midlength handguards.

Either of those will work with the issue bayo.

3. 16" barrel w/FH, carbine-length handguards, and the 'extended' bayo offered from DSG.

Of those options, I'm probably going to pick #2 for my next upper.

I use Specter Gear slings as well. They are very well made and reasonably priced. I have a CQB for my 870 and my AR. I'll continue buying them.

 

[SomeKid]

Ok, sling is ordered.

Looking at the bayonets now.

Is there a way to determine which one goes on my rifle?

Edit: You have to search for 'bayonets', seems DPMS won't let me link to a searched page.
