Sling & Sling Keeper – How to mount your rifle sling correctly
If you want to create a professional setup, you can't avoid properly mounting a sling and sling keeper. This article will show you how to properly attach these components to your rifle – simply, efficiently, and with minimal tools.
Preparation: What do you need?
To assemble the sling and sling keeper you need:
- a pair of scissors
- a lighter
- a screwdriver
Before you start, you should consider where on the rifle you want to attach the sling - at the front of the handguard, at the back of the shoulder stock, or at both ends.
QD Swivels – quickly removable, maximum flexibility
A popular attachment method is the use of Quick Detachment Swivels (QD). These allow you to attach or detach the sling with a single click—especially useful if you regularly adjust your setup or switch between different carriers.
The Sling Keeper – Order instead of Chaos
In addition to the sling, we recommend using a sling keeper. This ensures that your rifle sling stays securely fastened when not in use – no tangling, no snagging, and no loose ends.
Assembly tip
Take a moment to strategically choose the position of your sling attachment. Depending on your usage scenario—whether low-profile, patrol, or dynamic shooting—the mounting point can determine comfort and function.
Conclusion
Slings and sling keepers are more than just accessories—they're a functional element of your setup. With just a few simple steps and simple tools, you can achieve a clean, functional carrying style. Whether static or dynamic, a properly mounted sling is a true game changer.
