Thread: Sling and suppressor?

I have a couple of rifles with suppressors that I'd like to try a new (to me) approach for the sling - I want to add a soft loop that rides on the barrel between the fore-end and the suppressor.

So when the rifle is slung the soft ring/loop rides up to the suppressor (DPT's in my case) which stops it. Most of my "old rifles" have the front sling swivel stud up on the barrel and they are a heck of a lot nicer to carry slung than modern stuff with the "cheap option" of a stud on the fore-end.

So has anybody tried this? Issues? Thoughts?

Thanks
