O.K...here's what I was talking about... We use these straps at work for securing cable bundles in datacenters. I'm not quite certain where we got them from, but they were left over. The whole thing looks like this -
The hooked end looks like this -
The other end looks like this -
Notice the "male" velcro on the left, and the "female" velcro on the right.
Secured to the weapon, it looks like this -
I just noticed that it had slipped a little from pressure on the sling, but that's probably because I was messing around with it the other night. I took it off, and don't think I cinched it up as tight as it had been before, but it can be cinched
VERY tightly!
As I said, I'm not certain where we got these from at work, but if you can find a supplier of really
BIG cable ties ("zip ties"), they'll probably have these. :-)

If you want a side-mounted front sling, there are lots of mounts that clamp between the space of the front sight, giving you either a swivel, a QD mount, or a bit of rail. Here's one by SOG Armory that Brownell's (that source of all temptation) sells.
When I was a little kid, I'd wait for the Sears Christmas toy catalog. Now that I'm a bigger kid, I wait for the next Brownell's catalog.
