TEC Posted December 14, 2019 Report Posted December 14, 2019 How do you put a forward sling stud on an AR10?
ARTrooper Posted December 14, 2019 Report Posted December 14, 2019 What type of hanguard do you have?
TEC Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Posted December 17, 2019 I have not yet seen this rifle but pics seem to show the hand guard to be a standard tubular type. Hopefully something like Swiftabs suggestions will work.
Belt Fed Posted December 18, 2019 Report Posted December 18, 2019 If the rail has a keymod or m lock on it all you need is a QD mount like on these.
ARTrooper Posted December 18, 2019 Report Posted December 18, 2019 I agree with belt fed. I have those QD style mounts on my rifles and i wouldnt go any other way.
Cliff R Posted December 21, 2019 Report Posted December 21, 2019 I have not yet seen this rifle but pics seem to show the hand guard to be a standard tubular type. My 450 Bushmaster upper came with a tube-type free floating hand guard. I ended up drilling and tapping it for a short rail section and mounted sling swivel on it as well. I was never overly fond of that free floated tube so opted to replace it with a USA made hand guard. I was amazed at the number of choices out there and they are pretty easy to install. KEYMOD and M-LOK are popular.......before and after pics below...
RedRiverII Posted December 21, 2019 Report Posted December 21, 2019 @Belt Fed curious as to what is that stuff on the receiver. I hope it's not the dreaded Black Rifle fungus!

Cliff R Posted December 21, 2019 Report Posted December 21, 2019 A lower rail can be added to most any hand guard w/o much effort, even the round tube type. Below are two pics where I added a lower rail section to mount accessories, one is my DPMS 308 and the other my PSA 308. Third pic is my morning cup of coffee while I'm checking out the Forum......LOL.....
TEC Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Posted December 21, 2019 Cliff your first pic is the hand guard I have. Did you use one of the attachments Swift showed above?
RedRiverII Posted December 21, 2019 Report Posted December 21, 2019 @Belt Fed Thank you sir, glad to hear it. That Black Rifle fungus leads to more and more rifles showing up, sometimes causing friction within the family. Mobile 1 is cool, you only end up with more Hemi's.
Cliff R Posted December 21, 2019 Report Posted December 21, 2019 I added a Magpul short rail section and put one of these on it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Picatinny-Sling-Mount-Adapter-Mount-Weaver/321119039854?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I have them on several of my AR's where I'm using M-14 slings on them......
TEC Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Posted December 22, 2019 ^^^ Cliff I'm seeing mounts for oval shaped holes and teardrop shaped holes but not round holes like on the DPMS Oracle hand guard. What type mount did you use?
Cliff R Posted December 22, 2019 Report Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) I just used a standard rail section (pretty sure it was a Magpul) and attached it to the bottom of the hand guard. It's been quite a while ago and I can't remember if I had to use different fasteners or modify the holes in any way, but I would have if/as needed to get it bolted in place......
