How do I mount a sling on a CA249

SockMonkey · February 21st, 2006, 23:39

Likely a silly question, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to mount the sling. Its a Spectre 3-point. If any one knows and can point me in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks in advance

I used a two-point sling, I mounted one point to the back of the stock - there's a hole for the sling hook. As for the front, I hooked it to one of the bigger holes in front of the handguard area. It worked out okay - but unfortunately due to the weight of the 249 plus the crap metal used on the CA M249 sling, the rear hook snapped in half after some use.

Becareful of that after some period of use.

Do you mean the sling broke or the ring on the stock broke?

Sock,

Get my number from the BCAC Members section and I'll explain it over the phone or up at Dave's.

Later,

You needed to go with Blue Force Gear slings!

I said sling and hook in the same sentence, didn't I? *lol* But yeah, just to clarify things a bit, the hook on the sling broke. The sline mount on the stock was fine.

Guess I need to learn to camp with the M249 more. :-P
