:redface: Say you were going to put a sling on a tavor. Maybe you were thinking about the BFG Vickers sling. What would the best way to attach the sling to your Tavor? QD mounts?? What type? What would you use and where can you find them? I'm a total newb when in comes down to slinging black rifles and I don't even now where to start. :redface: Any help you guys could give me would be great as spring is coming and I want to be able to do some hiking with my Tavor. Thanks.
 
There is a mesa tactical shotgun qd swivel mount that can attach to the tavor.I can look up the part number later but i got mine from ds tactical.
 
Ditto on the Mesa tactical QD swivel. I used the 870 QD swivel. It works perfect one a tavor and fits in the hole near the back.

Will it also fit in the front sling swivel area? The plastic one on the front that came with the tavor looks like #### and I doubt it's very strong. I'd take it off if the mesa tactical sling swivel fit there as well.

ETA: This one? : http://www.dstactical.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=78&products_id=3749

Or this one? : http://www.dstactical.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=78&products_id=2439

I'm thinking the first one but I've been wrong before...

Use the BFG MASH hook for front and pick up the Mesa Tactical Receiver Mount Sling Attachment (push button QD) for the Remington 870/1100/11-87. Part Number: 90940. Go to www.nfa.ca and check out the Sept/Oct 2013 issue of Canadian Firearms Journal pp.22-23 and there is a full write up with pics.

It’s been more than a year since my last post on slings for the Tavor, and I feel a good deal smarter now than I did then.

As part of the CTAR-21 build I decided to change to a simpler, more flexible sling system.

Essentially, it is a quiet, easily adjustable 2 point sling that still allows for off-shoulder firing.

I chose the Vickers sling from Blue Force Gear because of its simplicity and quick adjustment feature. Lots of smart guys I trust have been recommending this sling for years, so I’ll keep it brief.

The quality materials and the ability to compress or extend the sling at a moment’s notice were major factors in my decision. I like the unpadded version, as this gives me the longest workable length of material and means that I can create the tightest total loop.

For the Tavor, I use a mash hook with a “silencer” cover and buckle on the front-left mount, and a paracord loop tied into the rear right mount. The mash hook fits tightly around the Israeli front mount, while the standard buckle serves as a breakaway for quick removal. My mash-hook and buckle assembly come from Urban ERT, but there are several quality manufacturers for this sort of hardware.

Directly behind that is the Vickers trademark pull that allows adjustment of sling length. This means that while walking, the rifle can be carried tight and close, but quickly and easily loosened off for shooting. Being able to fine tune the length of the sling is also handy when your body size changes between environments, like when wearing a t-shirt to the range compared to a heavy coat into the mountains or armour-plates and kit wherever your life takes you.

The rear knot is a standard figure-eight for climbing, but any solid knot of reasonable size will do as a stop. Putting the sling on the right side means that you can transition shoulders without strangling yourself. I felt that the 550 paracord from Agilite Tactical was uniquely suited to this task, being made in Israel.

I have seen other Tavor owners use a full loop through the rear of the rifle, so that the sling can slide freely to either side. I am not a fan of this, as it invites unintentional activation of the bolt release.

My Israeli TAR-21 does not have any QD points, but a similar system could easily be adapted for an American SAR-21.

After years of trying many other slings, and a full 12 months with this setup: this is the best way for me to carry and shoot the Tavor.

TV is wired for sound and I think he has the best way of doing it. I bought that swivel from DS Tactical and it is okay but I think TV's paracord on the rear will take more S and A than the swivel would - the screw that secures the swivel is mighty thin and I could see it breaking or loosening off over time. His is probably quieter as well.

I am not happy with that mash hook up front either...I like to sling up for shooting from formal positions and getting this Vickers sling to go into a classic 'hasty' sling up is a bit of a gong show...
