I am a fan of single point slings in general. They're not idea for hunting or slogging long distances but I only use my long guns at the range, plus they're on standby for HD use. I like the single point sling for indoor use as it lets me drop the rifle to transition to a pistol, open a door, etc while keeping the carbine retained and at hand. My Storm and HK USC are set up this way.
But what's the best way to attach a single point sling to an AR? I bought the kit that replaces the plate at the end of the receiver but I'm kind of reluctant to tear it down (remove the buffer, loosen the castle nut and retighten it w/o a torque wrench, etc).
Has anyone used something like a Magpul RSA? Could I just use an RSA towards the very rear of the rail and clip the sling onto that? The AR charging handle doesn't reciprocate so it wouldn't hang up on the sling. Ejection is on the other side, so issue there.
Is there a good reason not to do this that I'm just missing?
