The Agency Rear Sling Adapter Looped For AR-15 Collapsible Stocks offers the end user a more consistent fit than GG&G's earlier version. You may not know this, but some of the recoil tubes being produced are smaller in diameter than the originals and smaller than the Mil-Spec units. GG&G's upgraded design easily and securely fastens onto the castle lock nut versus the tube so various size recoil tubes are no longer an issue. The AR15 Sling Attachment installs without removing the castle nut and no tools are required except for the included 9/64" wrench to tighten the fastening screw of the Agency Sling Attachment. The AR-15 Agency Sling Attachments Looped are specifically designed to accommodate HK style quick clips or snap hooks. The ergonomic design does not interfere with the charging handle operation, even the larger units like the Gas Buster.
In addition to the enhanced mounting features, GG&G are now offering two Heavy Duty Steel models. Manufactured from 4140 steel and mag phosphated black per mil-spec, the Heavy Duty Agency Sling Adapters offer the user incredible longevity when used continuously in extreme and hostile combat environments. These HD AR 15 Sling Attachments are available in both the Right Hand Looped model and the Ambi Looped model.
The standard Agency Rear Sling Adapters Looped are available in right hand and ambi, and are manufactured for professional use from 7075 aluminum alloy and Type III hard coat anodized to meet mil-spec.
Although commonly used as a single mounting point, the GG&G AR-15 Agency Rear Sling Adapters Looped can also be used to attach a conventional sling in conjunction with the front sling swivel. A significant advantage of this sling mount is that expanding or collapsing the butt stock does not affect the sling length. If you wear body armor, a tactical vest or a jacket, you no longer need to re-adjust the sling length due to the extra apparel.
The Agency Sling Mounts For The AR15 are manufactured in the USA at GG&G's Tucson, Arizona factory.
