Group Buy on one point sling plates, goes between receiver and stock

[fry]

Next week they will be done.... going to send them out for parkerizing. They look like the ones other people have for sale..... except better.

They are made from cold rolled 12g steel and are laser cut. I have been working out the dimentions and have had several samples burned for testing. They look great!

Price should be in the $10-$11 range shipped!

Once this initial run is sold off they will only be available from GPG or Rooster and they will probably in the $14+ range + shipping.

Anyone interested please add yourself to the thread.... stating how many you want.

They should be ready for shipping in approximatly two weeks. When they are ready I will post pictures and payment instructions.

dont know if they will fit on a para yet.... have not received para lower from sarco. i did however fit them to a standard metric fal. i will post pics as soon as i receive them.

if there is enough demand. i might possibly try to make them for para's too.

[coldwarkid]

Count me in for one too please!

Most paras I have seen already have a one point sling attachment 1/2 inch from where this would mount.

[fastfreddy]

Is the slot wide enough to properly insert a Rooster sling? The one I have from a "popular manufacturer" requires the Rooster sling to be scrunched and crammed through so it doesn't slide properly.

probably not. Rooster Slings are wider than the average sling. i will however try to make the slot as wide as i can.

[MichonRAFW]

The sling swivel on my para lower was ground off so a sling plate that fits the paras too would be great.

I gotta admit you have a pretty good last name.

Anyhow. I decided to Paypal instead of a MO. You should have your money by now.

How soon do you think it will be before you ship?

might as well. wednesday and thursday we'll be park'n and drinkin' Jim Beam and Bridgeport IPA.... gettin' our bbq on..... all are welcome.

[fry]

here is the deal on the para gig. if you fancy yourself a dirty modifiler with a grinder and a file and ten minutes for spare. this part is easily modified for a para lower. although the lug in the para butt engages the lower at a depth of approx 1/8" less it still works. i would recommend drilling and tapping the butt block for a stud mounted sling swivel, but hey whatever floats your battleship!

Heck.. if im sober enough to drive... possibly start shipping tomorrow or the next day, depending on how late we fire up the park tanks.... i forsee actual shipping beginning thursday of this week to all that are listed paid in post showing who has paid, i will also ship to those whose PMO are recieved tomorrow and thursday. after that, i also forsee (spelling) that i will probably wait for several orders to pile up and ship the second go round next week around wednesday the 18th... depending.

Personally, I think this is a good trick for those of us not inclined to try and drill holes in the stock. Plus I like the idea of a flat sling-mount. Looking forward to getting mine!

These look COOOOOOOOOOOL. Fry is "THE MAN" for groupy buys....
Did I say groupy? To much "eye candy" at the gun show this weekend.

Is it wrong to stare at a girls behind if she is wearing a pink thong under a green summer dress at a gun show.

I'll be sending an order for 1 after work on monday the 16th.
Hopefully the same price is still good ?

I see you received my payment, thanks, looking forward to the rings. Now do you make one for an AR?

[fry]

i am thinkin about doin some for other type rifles, probably the ak next (an under the pistol grip type).. maybe the ar. its really a pain in the ass and almost not worth doing, if i was trying to do it for the $.. but who knows.. its not out of the question. i will not be trying to make one fit the inch pattern fals for sure.

[rcnpthfndr]

is it to late to get 2 of these? thanks

Lost track of this one for a bit, but per instructions on pg 2, paypal sent.

I recieved one of Fry's "Sling-Rings" today, and I am not impressed, and wish I had not purchased it. I have one of Dave's "Sling-Thingys" and there is a big difference in fit and finish.
A. The steel on Fry's is not as thick.
B. The finish on Frys is not half as nice, which I discovered after cleaning a bunch of yellow crap (park salts?) off of it.
C. The edges are not cut crisp.
D. When I purchased the "Sling-Thingy" it was less expensive than Frys "Sling Ringy"

The above I could live with, the next gripe I really have a problem with.

F. The height of Fry's is the same as the back of the reciever, NOT the height of the back of the reciever PLUS the sight base, or the height of the front of the buttstock. This leaves a gap under the rear sight in front of the buttstock, it is a really crappy fit.

I recommend that anyone intrested in a mid-mounted sling get the Schenider Machine "Sling-Thingy" and avoid Frys current offering.
