View attachment 930348 I picked up a Magpul MS1 two point sling. Is it ok to attach it on the A post or will the webbing melt when the barrel gets hot?
It'll melt. That part of the gas block gets hot quickly.View attachment 930348 I picked up a Magpul MS1 two point sling. Is it ok to attach it on the A post or will the webbing melt when the barrel gets hot?
There are a few sling attachments that mount on the front sight. This is the most common one.

I have attached a sling to the delta ring using paracord. Someone told me the gas tube would melt it but I took a high round count carbine class in 90 degree heat and it didn't have an issue. There was a little air gap which probably helped.I've seen one guy loop 550 cord through the forward sling swivel, come across the top of the handguard, and tie off to the other side of the swivel... looped a cheapo two-point through that... did the same at the butt swivel and slung it M-60 style. Dunno how good of an idea it was. Seen some others like in post #11, or looped the sling directly through the A-frame.
