Sling Solution For KS7

Very nice. I'm always a fan of functional solutions!

 

Nice solution.....I like it when a plan comes together.....

What kind of light is that? Is it easy to reach the switch,

I don't have a KS7 yet....still looking for them to be back in stock somewhere, but I was thinking about mounting a light, or light/laser combo, where you put yours.

 

any fix that involves "a piece of scrap" in the solution is OK in my book!

 

I couldn't find the KS7 anywhere. I finally got tired of waiting and starting bidding on them on GunBroker. I won the first auction and got it cheaper than if I bought it from my local shops.

 

Excellent solution! Thanks for the info.
I think I have some of those pieces lying around.

 

I don't have a sling yet, but I went ahead and mounted the Magpul Mlok QD on the butt stock. I read that some members bought longer screws to reach the other side, but i just opened up the stock to screw it in on the inside.

 

I am going with 1srellic's mag cap sling attachment and mcarbo qd pin for rear.

 

Does that qd pin replace one of the field stip pins?

 

Yep.

I thought about going with that option as well, but I didn't like the idea of having to unscrew that each time for a field strip.

 

My sling rear sling mount solution:
but I like 1srellic's solution better. I will need to rethink this paracord contraption.

 

You've got some skills!

 

I dont want to unscrew the take down pin for a field strip either. Assuming I'm not drilling holes in anything, is the only option to run a sling through the slot on the butt? I don't think the mlok slots are strong enough for a sling.

 

The slots are as strong as the entire buttstock panel, if that can't hold the weight of the firearm it sure as heck wouldn't be able to handle the recoil of shooting it.

 

I use those slots frequently as a place to put paracord for the 2nd attachment point for a 2 point sling.

The easiest way I've ever found to do this is to form a loop with the paracord. Put part of it through the slot, bring it back around and put it back through the paracord loop. It forms what's called a girth hitch and is made (assuming a pre-made paracord loop) in seconds and comes off even faster. Why? Generally I don't store slung guns in the safe. They take up room.

If you don't think the slot is strong enough make the paracord loop larger and going through the same slot go over the entire buttstock, bring it back down and form the girth hitch. That way you're only using the slot to keep the loop in place and the firearm is being carried by a much stronger part of the gun. But in all the years I've done this I've never felt the need to do that and have never had a problem using the slot alone.

But the latter solution is in general only. I don't have a KS7 yet to make sure going over the butt won't interfere with anything.

 

I have a BFG Vickers slung through the provided slots on the buttstock and end of the barrel. Works as intended and lays perfectly across my body. I like to keep it simple, less can go sideways that way. If you foresee taking the sling off with any regularity this is probably not the way you should do it though.

Obviously this is a KSG25, but I think the slots are the same.

 

For my sling, I just used swivel QD mlok mounts for a two-point sling. Works for me, plenty sturdy enough. Very easy to attach or detach. Only takes a second. Simple. Don’t overthink it.
