openclassterror Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have attended several majors where a shotgun sling was supposed to be required, but everyone whined enough to make them change the course and eliminate the sling. The only match I have been to where they followed through was Northwest Multigun in Bend, OR. I want to come up with an elegant sling setup so I never have to worry about a match that requires it. What sling setup do you use on your shotgun, and WHY do you have it set up the way you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Noveske makes a flush cup with nut that I attach to the left side of my buttstock near the butt pad. I use the Nordic qd mount attached to the barrel clamp up front. Works pretty well. I tried the adapter that goes between the barrel lug and extension nut, but I shoot with my support hand index finger extended and it gets smashed by the fitting sticking out during recoil.

GunCat Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I use the same Noveske QD setup as Bryan. I use the same setup on my rifle also. Rear QD in the stock With a bit of fitting you can put that QD socket in most shotgun forearms or use something like this on the clamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2alphas Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have also had great success with the Shooters Source QD socket/nut product installed similarly into polymer stocks. They run around $10/ea IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 My 1301 has a qd socket in the buttstock and a Nordic clamp with Qd upfront. The AR has similar points so one sling fits all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitommy Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I just installed the Noveske cup & Nordic on the clamp. I dug out my VTAC rifle sling & it fit my SG just fine. That will save me from having to buy another sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 This is the setup I had come up with, but wanted to find out if I was missing the boat on some other slick setup. The only downside to this is that the clamp affects POI, and unless it is mounted very close to the fore end makes the sling loop pretty long. Looks like it is still the consensus among available options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop414 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Also interested in this with another question. Has anyone used the qd socket in the forearm as well as buttstock? Looking at a VM that needs a sling and the clamp is way down the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
