Good example of using paracord to attach a general purpose strap as a sling, but can be used to attach just about any kind of sling.
A fair amount of people either don’t understand a Prusik hitch in general or can’t get their mind wrapped around using it on front sights, forearms, or stocks.
Also a good example of a Colt CS butt which uses the M16A2 nylon material, buttplate, and lower screw, but has the @ 5/8" shorter M16/A1 length.
That’s funny. First they give you the GP Strap and two weeks later they show you how to use it, but you already threw it away.
GP Straps are very handy for evrything.
Pretty cool. Kinda what I do with the IDF slings.
We attach all our slings with small double loops of 550 cord with a Fisherman’s Bend.
Invaluable knot for joining two ends of anything together.
I’ll have to look that up. I suck at knots, and I have another IDF sling inbound for a dedicated range blaster 14.5 AR.
This is usually fairly easy to follow.
If I watch that for 6 hours I might get it. 
My brain does not work stuff like that.
If you need to be untied after trying this a couple times don’t hesitate to call.
It’s better than most since it’s all in the open.
None of the stuff where someone gets to the tricky 3 hand part and pulls it in to pit of their stomach while bending over and then comes up with it like they just did a magic trick. 
I got the Fisherman’s Bend from the Ranger handbook. I use that knot all the time. Have used it on broken cargo straps even.
Prussik is great for lines you want to tighten or adjust. I use it for setting up a poncho in the field.
This is another one that can be used for tightening a tent or tarp.
I’ve never seen it mentioned as a use, but it can also be used to compress a sleeping bag/blanket/jacket, just tie around the bulky object like this shows tying around the cleat.
So you have it memorized. I may sit down and give it a go some time.
This one is good on webbing and fairly easy to remember.
Standard in my 2 units was using para cord to attach our slings. Noise discipline was the reason we did this.
Exactly, it’s quieter, and lighter.
At this point, all my carbines get paracord-buckle-paracord attachment to front of the rifle. Varies in the back, but if ever wanted to remove quickly, my left hand would actuate the buckle. Keeps the benefits of the paracord and allows for quick removal.
Indeed, my homemade 2pt. quick-adjust all have a fastex buckle up front, as the adjustment mechanism, and that allows me to pop the sling loose if I get entangled with a Krakken’s tentacles, etc.
I have some versions of the IDF sling with the buckle that quick adjust the sling a bit longer. Kind of nice if I run a heavy jacket or thick gear.
I’m always adjusting mine, based on what I’m doing or wearing.
They’re so useful, I ook back to the old days and wonder how we got along without them.
Just like dump pouches.
