Integrated the MS3 Sling with my 16S in a manner that still allows the ability to transition without getting hung.

My only suggestion is running gutted 550 cord over the shackle. Just like a 249, no matter how little of metal to metal contact you have, it will eventually wear through a FN sling attachment point.

Thanks for the recommendation but my gun only rides on a sling for limited periods during drills, competition and an occasional class(I'm an old fart who only plays two or three times a month). The issue that I have had is finding an attachment that allows smooth rotation on all axis. The D clevis limits the MS3 clamp to one axis with some friction and the clevis compensates by allowing all 3 freely. I understand the 550 cord buffer idea but the added friction binds the movement of the clevis enough to cause issues. I tried the key ring, snap shackle, threaded link and snap swivel and had each method bind during shouldering and transition.

While this attachment method may be less than ideal for regular carry and give company armorers gritty drawers it works for me.

Happy Shooting,
Clint
