The network guys at work have tons of those Velcro cable straps. 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.
Sweet job on the SOCOM16... MI and SOG make good stuff... don’t even get me started on Brownell’s
I need to get one of those for a SIG 556... I’ll get it on order next week... that and ERT sling...
