MCFooter Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I haven’t found much information with searches but I’m looking for any words of wisdom for shotgun sling setups. I have a Benelli M2 Field that doesn’t currently have a sling. I have a Viking Tactics 1” on my AR and I’m currently thinking of getting a 2nd sling with the extra buttstock attachment. One question is what is the optimum setup for the front attachment. The barrel clamp seems too far forward. Is there any problem with attaching around the Mag ext and Barrel under the vent rib at the base of the mag extension or would it be better to add a second clamp? Has anyone mounted a swivel stud in the forearm or the top of the stock? Are there any better options for the front and rear? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bberkley Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) I would tell you to get yourself a Giles sling from www.thewilderness.com, but they don't work with the M2 Field. Works great with a Benelli, I had one on my M3 Super 90. Edited March 8, 2006 by bberkley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBoyElroy Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) At the time we installed a Surecycle extended mag tube we added a Clark magazine bracket. Took the sling ring from the Surecycle, cut off the ring, opened up the stud with a 5/32" bit and used the stud to hold the Clark support together. Put a couple wave washers under the stud and got the hole timed right to accept an Uncle Mike's swivel. Ta-daa. ETA I just lied. We got the sling stud from a KNS kit from Brownell's. It was all in the same parts kit and I got the sacks confused. Edited March 9, 2006 by MyBoyElroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyn Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I had to attach a VTAC to my Benelli for a 3 gun match. Two words for you: duct tape. I used the stock barrel clamp, attached the VTAC and taped it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCFooter Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Why? Yes it sound like a solution to a non existent problem but I was considering going to this match in AL and the rules say Shotgun sling required http://www.hrpclub.org/ I have tried the VTAC Buttstock attachment and I don't like it on the M2 due to strap wearing on the foam pad on top of the stock. If it were sized to fit more rearward it might work better. Kellyn may have a simpler solution. Thanks for the response Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
