I have fitted quick release receptors to rifle and the quick release sling swivels to canvas strap. I can remove sling in seconds if pushing thru tight stuff so no getting caught up

First pic is an m-lok fitting to front end

I've got a Backlanz, keeping with the carbon/light theme.
Gotta be honest though, a dirty old Harris with pod lock is still nicer to use!

Yeah something along those lines looks the go. QD would be with way forward for a sling. Have you just strapped the qd to the but stock?
