Sling Mounts are devices or attachments that allow for the attachment of a sling to a firearm. They are typically used to provide a means of carrying or stabilizing a firearm while keeping it readily accessible for use. There are several types of sling mounts available, including:
1.
Swivel Stud Mounts: These mounts attach to the swivel stud found on many rifles and shotguns. They typically consist of a threaded stud that screws into the swivel stud, providing a secure attachment point for the sling.
2.
Picatinny Rail Mounts: These mounts attach to the
Picatinny Rail, a standardized mounting system used on many modern firearms. They typically consist of a clamp or adapter that attaches to the rail and provides a sling attachment point.
3. QD (Quick Detach) Mounts: These mounts allow for quick and easy attachment and detachment of the sling. They typically consist of a QD swivel that can be attached to a sling and a corresponding QD socket that can be mounted on the firearm.
4. Barrel Band Mounts: These mounts attach to the barrel of a firearm, typically near the muzzle. They consist of a band or clamp that wraps around the barrel and provides a sling attachment point.
5. Buttstock Mounts: These mounts attach to the buttstock of a firearm and provide a sling attachment point. They can be mounted using screws or adhesive, depending on the design.
Sling mounts are available in various materials, including metal and polymer, and can be found in different configurations to suit different firearm types and sling styles. They are often used by military, law enforcement, and recreational shooters to enhance the functionality and versatility of their firearms.
