Blue Force Gear Universal Wire Loop, With U Loop, For 1.25in Slings And Larger
$28.67
Sling hooks and clips are on borrowed time! The world no longer has to tolerate loud, jangly sling attachments, hooks that eat up aluminum and plastic eyelets, or hardware pieces that take too long to attach and remove. With the Patent Pending ULoop finally on the scene, the hook and clip extinction event has begun. The Blue Force Gear ULoop brings a level of versatility that is unmatched by any other sling hardware. Code named the “Uber Loop” it is a quick-detach version of the popular Universal Wire Loop, offering even faster and easier installation, especially on smaller eyelets found on HK, SIG and FN weapons. The ULoop can be installed almost anywhere – through eyelets, holes in railed handguards, and on KeyMod rails. There’s no need to have multiple sling attachments. The ULoop replaces all hooks, clips and connections. The ULoop can be installed in seconds and does not need to be removed from the sling.

I'm only giving this four stars because I haven't tested it fully yet. This could be a five star product… I will use this to attach my sling to a carbon fiber free float tube handguard on an AR. Carbon Fiber is a material I dislike cutting and drilling so adding a QD socket or other sling mount doesn't appeal to me. Instead I'm attaching an AFG and I'll run a few loops of Paracord around the handguard and through the AFG to keep it in one place. I intend to use the U Loop to attach my sling to a few of those Paracord loops. I think I'm going to get one of those elastic Mash hook silencers to mute any noise caused by the plastic or metal wire bumping against my carbon fiber handguard. Being attached to a loop and with two QD sockets on my butt stock makes my sling 100% ambidextrous. The only downside I see is that the load rating is a bit low, don't try a Die Hard HVAC duct trick putting the load on the U Loop end.
Nice Ergonomics and Feel –
I have a Sig Sauer 556 SWAT CLASSIC with mounting loops for a sling. I had some metal buckles in there before that were chewing up the finish. I was suspect that the braided cable covering would immediately fail but it seems to be standing up to it well. I like flush cups didn’t want extra hardware to use them and these lightweight units from Blueforce work great.

I used these to mount a two point sling on a Kel-Tec RDB. Installation was easy and fit through the factory mounting points designed for hooks. The only concern I might have is that the rubber coating on the wire loop might eventually wear off due to the somewhat sharp edge of the metal sling mount ring it is inserted through. All in all, these provided where priced right from a good company and accomplished what I was needing to do.

I just picked up a few of these and I LOVE them. Several of my guns have attachment points that are just too small for a HK Hook (nor do I want one due to missing up the finish). I did an improvised QD attachment on my APC 9mm SBR but the QD attachment comes very close to my teeth when I fire which makes me pretty nervous. These guys here fit my Galil's and B&T products perfectly. I'm planning on running these in some matches.

For those wondering if it fits around a standard iron sight for patrol carry it does I asked they said it would not but bought one anyways so yes it does fit a standard m4 M16 front iron sight

It's a great addition to my Vickers tactical sling from Blue Force Gear.
