Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

Not saying the paraclips are great-looking (flush cup versions here), but here they are on my AT.

The buttstock one is pointed down, otherwise it hits me in the jaw.

Your pic made me get in The Way Back machine.

Remember the original AICS 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 chassis?
They all had steel loops for HK style sling attachments by default. I kinda forgot about that.

Those have not been on my radar. But, it's been a couple years since I last looked on the sling market. Have you seen, heard of, or had any of those fail yet? I wonder how well the plastic holds up over time, exposure to the elements, and the wear and tear of usage.
I can't speak for years of usage yet but they have been doing nicely with 14 to 18lb rifle rigs getting banged around. That would include the occasional getting the rifle caught on shit and other shock/shear type spike loading to the part.

Not 100% sure of the construction. It appears to be some type of glass reinforced nylon/polymer material. May have some type of metal or glass spine that the part is molded around. I haven't cut one in two yet to find out.

Most of the material science seems to already be proven and hashed out with everything else including pistol frames, stocks, etc.

But, integrating sling attachment points on the chassis would be a bonus in my book. Especially if a 6:00 attachment point can be integrated without interfering with a bipod.

Iran go boom

If the US didn't destroy it, why would they call for a cease fire 3 days after?
I have thought about this. It could be for a couple reasons:

1. The reports are true, the MOPs didn’t do thier job.

2. The centrifuges were indeed destroyed but the material was moved to other locations - make it, move it; repeat continuously and disperse the finished product across multiple sites FOR YEARS so as to preserve as much as possible while allowing the known production site to be hit while preserving the uranium as well as other unknown production and storage sites.

3. They had advanced knowledge the strikes were coming and GTFO was the order for all critical items that were not bolted down. See #2. I mean, hell, it was all over the news and internet before it happened. It’s almost like it was intentional telegraphing and backchanneling. Not totally unlike the missiles being shot into Qatar, which has its own series of implications.

4. The Iranians are completely and irredeemably stupid and inbred to the point that they left everything there and it was actually obliterated.

what are the odds that ONLY #1 or #4 is totally correct? Even the Iranians aren’t that stupid. I wager the threat is still there.

Accessories ADM Delta 30mm and 34mm Mounts

I have 4 NIB American Defense Delta mounts that I would like to sell or trade.

1. AD-Delta-34-STD (standard levers)
2. AD-Delta-30-TAC (tactical levers)
3. AD-Delta-30-TAC (tactical levers)
4. AD-Delta-30-STD (standard levers)

These are all $300 new. I’ll take $210 shipped for each.

I could use a couple similar mounts in 30mm that are cantilevered if you have one to trade.

I would also trade one to all for something like a barrel blank, stock, chassis, action or optic. Can add cash if needed.

Highly Custom Savage Rascal


As you know they are awesome little rifles right out of the box.
For the money- they are incredible.

Get you some hard felt bore pellets for you cleaning rod and polish the hound out of the barrel with JB bore cleaner. It will improve accuracy very very likely. If not, it can't hurt it.

Supplies:

Cleaning rod
22 cal VFG brand felt pellets
VFG pellets Jag
JB bore cleaner
Bore guide
Cleaning rod "stop" (a collar that goes on the shaft of your Cleaning rod)
Standard patches
Standard bore patch jag.

God bless.
