Tactical Slings attached to the AR15/M16 Carbine at a single mounting point, without the use of the front sling swivel, have become quite popular recently in both military and law enforcement special operations circles. These systems permit the operator to mount the weapon on either the primary or offside shoulder. As a result, during dynamic entries it becomes easier to "slice the pie" at doorways and move around corners, whether they are on the right or left side, without "telegraphing" the operator’s presence.
GG&G now manufactures a Receiver End Plate Sling Adapter for this purpose. With this innovative accessory the operator can now attach the sling directly behind the receiver, in front of the collapsible buttstock. This only requires replacement of the receiver end plate with the new end plate containing an integral sling mounting point.
The new series of GG&G Receiver End Plate Sling Adapters can also be used to attach a conventional sling in conjunction with the front sling swivel. A significant advantage of this set up is that expanding or collapsing the buttstock does not affect the sling length. If you wear body armor, a tactical vest or a jacket, you no longer need to re-adjust the sling length due to the extra apparel.
GG&G offers two Receiver End Plate Sling Adapters. Both are designed for professional use being machined from 4140 ordnance steel. They are manganese phosphated black, and can easily be installed by the operator. One of our Receiver End Plate Sling Adapters has a rectangular sling slot that will accept sling webbing up to 1 1/4" wide, such as The Wilderness Single-Point Tactical Sling. It is available in both left and right hand versions. The other sling attachment features ambidextrous mounting rings for attaching spring-loaded clips like those found on the Chalker Tactical Sling or the Heckler & Koch combat-carry-type slings.
