Overview
This adapter band adds an ambidextrous sling attachment point to the top of compatible M16 and AR-15 buttstocks, giving shooters a cleaner carry setup for field use and range work. By moving the connection point above the stock, it helps address the tendency for the rifle to roll upside down when slung from the lower attachment point. It is designed to pair with Blue Force Gear’s Vickers Combat Applications Sling or Victory Two-Point Sling, making it a practical accessory for hunters and other users who want a more controlled sling setup. Installation should be checked carefully so the tag end can be tucked securely under the Hook and Loop tab.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for M16 / AR 15 / AR15 A1, A2, and A4 buttstocks, so it is not a universal fit for every stock style.
- Works as an ambidextrous top-mounted sling attachment point, which may require a different sling setup than a standard bottom attachment.
- The product is described as especially suited to the Vickers Combat Applications Sling(TM) or Victory Two-Point Sling(TM), so compatibility with other slings may be less straightforward.
- Installation requires checking that the adapter is tight enough to tuck the tag end into the Hook and Loop tab, so fit should be verified after mounting.
