Vector Sling Mounts

An open question to all...
I'm considering the purchase of the MagPul MS3 Sling operating system with the MagPul RSA as the rear sling attachment point and a Fortis RAP mounted on the forward (downward-facing) rail; for when a second sling point is necessary. Has anyone experience using the Fortis with the MS3 clip? Will it work?
Many thanks in advance.
...and remember to watch the front sight. Squeeze don't jerk-it.

From what I can see on the fortis, it just provides a side point for a QD sling point. So it should work. The RAP is just a socket. Not like the RSA where is has a built in sling point. I'm concerned that the KRIS'S will hang funny and sit horizontal while slung with two points

out of curiosity has anyone ever tried these?

That might work. But only for the newer stocks with the curved cut. The problem I see is that there isn't much of a bottle neck like in the blackhawk sample on that shotgun. So this web sling mount might slip and the gun will lower when you not want it too.

Solscud007,
I'd have to agree with your assessment of the Blackhawk sample. If the interior of the leash had a rubber-and-or-silicon coating to assure an anti-slip...I might be interested.
...on an unrelated note. Are you selling your KRISSTalk T's?

What about using another RSA up front on the top rail? Here's a shot of the idea on an AR:

How did the MS3 ever work out?

I have a training event this wekend and have to decide on a sling setup.....

Thanks,

Scott

I have a RSA in the back with the MS3 and so far so good. Haven't tried on training yet. This week I ordered and extra RSA thinking that it will be great to just have more options.

I have both MS3 slings. QD and hook. The hook style is limited in what type of loops it can hook onto.

Thanks, I think I will go with the two RSA setup and the MS3 so I can try both two point and single with the KRISS.

I recently added the RSA and modified it with a Dremell. i ground out the screw side of the RSA so it could be mounted at the back of the rail by the sling pin. when installed I only had to move the rear sights up 2 rails. the sight picture is still clear.

I'll have to do that to mine. To use the RSA I just removed the BUIS.

it was pretty easy i also had to grind the screw head down (flattened and tappered out the sides to clear the stock). then I used a birchwood flat black pen to touch-up the exposed metal.

Nice. I have the pen. Definitely will do it when the babies allow me to.

Are the pictures not showing up for anyone else?

I tried viewing this thread on my iPhone & PC & none of the pictures show up.

If they are showing up, can anyone email them to me in the order they're in on this thread?

Member RubbaDubbaBubba added a QD sling cup and replaced one of the body pins.

This is the hinge post sling mount. I have the quick disconnect version. This style sling mount replaces the hinge pin for the stock. The biggest problem that I found with this style of mount is that it is on the right side of the Vector. Great if I was lefty, but im not. Also since the sling crosses over the top rail, it interferes with my rear MBUS. So if I need to deploy my rear sight, I have to make sure the sling isnt in the way.

I am thinking about using the Hinge Post Sling Mount, but drilling a hole through the to of the butt stock right behind the folding release button and threading the cylinder body through that. This way it would be reverseable for lefty or righty shooters without interfering with the MBUS.

Anyone got any pics of the Kriss sling attached?

Pretty cool modifications. If you need QD swivel bases, we can offer.
