Specter MOUT Sling - What mount to use?
 

I am about to purchase the following sling for my HK416 and want to know what would be the best reciver sling mount to use to attach the sling. Please help me out. The sling is located here and it is the Specter MOUT Sling.

The part on the right side of the page you are referring to has a link to the mount you need(The big picture of a mount is what gave it away for me).

That is for a real rifle though... will it work on my VFC HK416? I am not knowledgeable about real parts in that area. I saw that mount there the first time I saw the sling but thought it could only be used on a real weapon. Just let me know and I'll buy it right up.

theres tons of those for sale on big airsoft sites i.e. redwolf, therefore they will work

Thanks for all the great options guys, if I would have known that the real steel ones would work for airsoft I would not haved asked that noob question. I am an HK type guy so I did not know all the little in's and out's about armalites, but HK had to up and make a M4 variant. So I guess I would be right in assumeing that this mount would work fine on my gun right?

i'd recommend this one:

i've used it with that exact sling. don't boy a ring like someof those suggested with the round holes, get one with a long straight hole. the nice thing about this mount is that it works with any stock tube and can be installed without disassembling anything. also it looks pretty cool.

I'm also currently using this mount and the Specter MOUT sling with a Systema PTW, and I previously used the combo with a G&P M4SF. Works like a dream.

I would recommend the Blue Force Gear USC sling over the Specter.

It's more modular and better quality.

I cant find that one to check out... you got a link?

It now comes with an extra fastex buckle. This is for when your in a vehicle or crowded space you can have it as a two point tight to your body. Once out in the open you unclip and your back to single point.

Actually, some feedback on the Blueforce.

Blueforce uses a thicker poly-cotton webbing as opposed to plain old 17337 webbing. As a result, it's bulkier and it doesn't flex as well, particularly when you're wearing it over a first line, second line, and third line setup. Now, that weakness is also it's stength. It's STRONG.

The fastex buckles are bulky and, from my usage anyway, make a big bump in the line right about chest level.

Now, i got the contractor pack and the sling in question is the one that converts from a one-point to a two or three point. So perhaps that's why it does what it does; anything made for multiple purposes won't necessarily do any one of those things particularly well.

Honestly, the only reason I haven't made my own is a lack of CB webbing in 1.5"; Otherwise I'd throw a KISS-model on the market. I'm kicking myself for selling the Phantom 1-point I had. Drop dead stupid simple, cheap, and works great.

Now the TAG one-point is magical.

Actually the Blue Force Gear sling are nylon.

The reason they feel other wise is because they are solution washed which also has other benifits beside feeling really nice :D
