Currently regular sling studs are standard on rifles and shotguns and have been for at least a hundred years. However, lately QD Sling Mounts have become very popular. They have been standard on AR type rifles for many years.
QD Sling Mounts are better than standard sling studs for a few reasons, no more studs turning loose and when the sling is removed the stock is flush.
Once upon a time iron sights were standard on all rifles and so was the carry handle on the AR. More, and more rifles came without iron sights and flattop ARs became more prevalent. Eventually both became standard. Some QD mounts are already showing up from the factory on certain rifles I believe.
Will QD Sling Mounts become the standard for Rifles and Shotguns?
