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

    I have not been recommending Cobra buckles on slings for work guns. The Cobras cannot be undone when under a load. If you are in a bind, it is entirely possible to not get enough slack to clink out of it. If the user has to un-ass his rifle via popping the sling in half, Fastex is the way to...

    New Bolt Action Comp Ready Rifle on the Market.

    Working on a Gen III mold for the SENTINEL. Doing the mods for the Actual Blade will depend on how many of those they end up producing. It would be a neat trick for sure. Matt is such a good dude. Does immaculate work and works so hard. Tickles me to see him do well.

    That would be it. Tell Matt I said Hi next time you see him. In process Well, somebody's got to do it!

    New Bolt Action Comp Ready Rifle on the Market.

    This is just my opinion based on my use and preferences . . . . By nature, integrally machined rails are almost 100% of the time limited to the length of the receiver and are a fixed height. Pic rails machined to match a slick top receiver can be: Perfectly matched for clean access to the...

    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.

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

    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...

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

    YOU don't see an issue, and I think it would be trivial BUT we both know some would be super vocal about it even if it were a non-problem! :rolleyes: Understood and I appreciate the thoughts. Throwing stuff out there was the intent of the thread. You are mostly right. The bolt guns are more...

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

    MagPul makes these and I have some on a couple of ARs. https://magpul.com/qd-paraclip-adapter.html?mp_global_color=118 For sure, it would be a fix if one wanted to use existing flush cups in an existing stock to run Para Clips, HK or MASH hooks on their sling. I wouldn't want to force somebody...

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

    I would figure most would not want to homestead any ARCA rail space by adding a sling hardpoint. For sure would limit the sliding travel of adapters and available space for direct tripod clamping. Even if the above were a non-issue, I personally would hate any sling attach point on the bottom...

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

    Already been using these with good results. User can position the front attach point in the best preferred position. https://magpul.com/m-lok-paraclip-sling-mount.html?mp_global_color=118 Would be a viable solution but not easily released/removed on demand if needed. Already been using these...

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

    Uloop could be one of the answers. It would be the same approach and use the same type of integrated slot/ring type feature to tie into as the other mentioned sling loops. The only drawback I could see with the Uloop is that it would be pretty time consuming to remove the sling from the gun...

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

    Nobody said anything about my students. My observation is from a bunch of guns over a bunch of years. Yes there are a lot of pigs that don't take care of their shit. Even on well maintained guns, there is no way to clean/maintain the pushbutton loops. Once wet and/or in humid environments...

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

    They make them. It would be a solution via locking the necessary adapter into existing flush cups on already manufactured stocks. Certainly would be a path forward for existing stocks but I wouldn't want to unnecessarily put another link in the chain (failure point) on a design that is still...

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

    For years, we have seen even the best brands of push-button sling loops have functional issues after hard use. The internal ball/detent is susceptible to rust, dust and sand. Even the stainless flush cups seem to get pretty jacked up with heavy use in addition to rust and corrosion leaching...

    New Bolt Action Comp Ready Rifle on the Market.

    The price point they are trying to meet will drive some feature sets. Non integrated lug and rail falls into that decision tree with zero negatives. Properly done, separate lug and rail is bomb proof. Actually, if I were designing a new action from scratch I would have non-integral lug and...

    Iran go boom

    Sources say that vid is not of anywhere in Iran. Likely Morocco and was taken prior to the US actions over the weekend.
