What’s the difference between a Picatinny sling mount and a rail sling attachment?

A Picatinny sling mount specifically fits MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. A rail sling attachment is a broader term that may include mounts for Picatinny, M-LOK, KeyMod, or other systems.

Are these sling mounts compatible with AR-15s and shotguns?

Yes. As long as your firearm has a Picatinny or Weaver-style rail, these sling mounts will fit most AR-15s, shotguns, and tactical rifles.

What is a QD sling mount?

A QD (Quick Detach) sling mount allows you to attach or detach your sling quickly using a push-button QD swivel system, which is popular for dynamic and tactical shooting.

Do you offer rotation-limited sling mounts?

Yes. Some QD sling attachments we carry include rotation-limited features to prevent sling twist or over-rotation during movement.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions

A: No. This page is for Picatinny-only sling mounts. See our M-LOK sling mount collection for modular rails.

Q: Can I use these on a shotgun rail?
A: Yes. As long as your shotgun rail is a true Picatinny spec, these mounts will fit securely.
