    Found a post on ar15.com on how to make your own vtac sling.
    Now if I can find the parts needed........ only thing I can't seem to find so far is a quick release cam buckle.

    Are these sling snap type fittings any good?


    I see a lot of the slings available have these type of fittings.

    They're known as Hk hooks or mash hooks, I made a simple sling with them and a length of webbing and 2 slide buckles, they work fine if you have something to hook them through on your rifle

    I don't like the H&K hooks cuz it's another thing to make noise while stalking. I find the QD swivels can be cunty at times when they move around. Best thing IMO is to have the sling looped around a solid mount on the handguard and on the stock itself or on a buttstock adapter if you run an A2. Down side is you loose the QD function if that matters to you. Doesn't to me.
