OK guy so I received the sling today and I think it's well constructed. Stitching seems to be good and the length adjustment works great too.

I'm having a problem attaching it to my G36C though, so I'll post details here as a 'buyer beware' tip and also to ask for help.

This sling has a 1" strap at the front and a 1.5" strap at the rear. It doesn't come with clips which I knew, so I purchased a set of 1" HK style clips too.

The front strap works fine.

The rear strap won't fit the clip unless I double it over. I'm worried it will start fraying over time.

I want to put the rear strap on the mid sling point which is near the folding stock pin.

Can anyone help advise me of options? The ones I can think of are:

- Find a 1.5" HK sling swivel/hook - I haven't been able to find something reputable online

- Find a 1.5" QD Swivel which seems more common...but then I don't have a QD mount on my rifle's IDZ stock, or on the rifle body. It looks like there's a QD hole on the normal skeleton stock, I'm not sure.

- I would prefer to use the IDZ stock, I find it more comfortable.

- Maybe I just leave the sling doubled over at the rear.

I can post pictures here if it makes it easier to visualize, let me know.
