The standard front Sling Thing easily installs onto the M16/AR15’s “A-frame” front sight assembly, on either the right or left sides using socket head cap screws. Mounted high in this manner “rifle roll” is completely prevented.

Tactical Slings attached to the M16/AR15 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.

Certain local, state and federal agencies have now established policies indicating that if a tool needs to be used to remove a part of the weapon to install a new accessory it cannot be done unless the gun is sent to the agency's armorer or gunsmith for the installation. GG&G has developed the New Agency Rear Sling Adapter to assist the agencies with this issue. This new GG&G Agency Rear Sling Adapter only requires that the rear assembly of the collapsible buttstock be removed. No tools required.
