The Agency Rear Sling Adapter Looped For AR-15 Collapsible Stocks offers the end user a more consistent fit than our earlier version. You may not know this, but some of the recoil tubes being produced are smaller in diameter than the originals and smaller than the Mil-Spec units. Our upgraded design easily and securely fastens onto the castle lock nut versus the tube so various size recoil tubes are no longer an issue. The AR15 Sling Attachment installs without removing the castle nut and no tools are required except for the included 9/64" wrench to tighten the fastening screw of the Agency Sling Attachment. The AR-15 Agency Sling Attachments Looped are specifically designed to accommodate HK style quick clips or snap hooks. The ergonomic design does not interfere with the charging handle operation, even the larger units like the Gas Buster.
This standard Agency Rear Sling Adapter is right hand and manufactured for professional use from 7075 aluminum alloy and Type III hard coat anodized to meet mil-spec.
Although commonly used as a single mounting point, the GG&G AR-15 Agency Rear Sling Adapters Looped can also be used to attach a conventional sling in conjunction with the front sling swivel. A significant advantage of this sling mount is that expanding or collapsing the butt stock does not affect the sling length. If you wear body armor, a tactical vest or a jacket, you no longer need to re-adjust the sling length due to the extra apparel.
The Agency Sling Mounts For The AR15 are manufactured in the USA at GG&G's Tucson, Arizona factory.
Developmental History: The Agency Rear Sling Adapters were developed because certain government agencies established policies indicating that if a tool needs to be used to remove a part of the weapon to install a new accessory it cannot be done unless the gun is sent to the agency's armorer or gunsmith for the installation. This caused a major problem for many agencies looking to quickly update their weapons.The GG&G Agency Rear Sling Adapter only requires that the rear assembly of the collapsible butt stock be removed. An operation that does not require tools. The Agency Sling Adapter then slides over the tube and, once in proper position securely tightens around the castle lock nut as shown in the below photo.
