    Help with AR-15 Front sling mount

    I have a round full float tube, no holes in it to put adapters for front sling mount.
    It does have a small (2") picatinny rail at the end of the tube near the front site. Im using a vickery 2 point sling. The gun is a RockRiver Arms 458 Socom. I cant belive RockRiver Arms didnt put a front sling mount on the gun.
    Does anyone make a picatinny front sling mount that has the qd hold or the sling webbing hole off to the left of the gun so its not on top of the barrel? Ive looked at quite a few places and everyone seems to have ones for picatinny rails, but they all assume your mounting on the left/right of a quad rail.

      I'm not familiar with your particular rifle but does it have a fsb? If so then you could get one of the sling mounts which fits between the fsb and barrel.

        FWIW, you don't want to mount a sling to the barrel (i.e. the normal location or the FSB) as it'll put unwanted torque/pull on the barrel should you ever use it to position shoot. Mounting it to the free float tube limits this.

            I perfer the Daniel Defence rail mount:


            Sling mounts at Rainier Arms
            I'm using them myself, they are very reliable and feature a swivel movement
            block so your swivelno longer spin around.
            They also have an off set rail mount, to get your sling out of the way for equipments.

                The Vtac looks the best, but the sling mount is on top of the rail. I just thought having the sling mount on the side of the rifle it would help keep it off the scope more than having it on top of the rifle. The bravo company one looks promising.
                I think ill buy the vtac and If i dont like it ill buy the bravo and then just get a sling mount to mount off the pic rail adapter bravo company sells.

                Thanks
