I got my AR-15 from PSA yesterday and I want to get a forward grip. Where can I get one and how will it attach to the AR-15?

This one is on the PSA site, but how does it attach to the AR-15?

I also want to get a single point sling, but I need a spot for it to attach to.

You need an Mlok compatible grip. There are small T nuts that lock into the long skinny slots on the hand guard. There are hundreds of options. Pick one that meets your budget from any reputable retailer. I would buy a cheap one, see what you like and don’t like, then get a nicer one that suits you better.

I prefer an Emisary Handbrake over a vertical grip.


As far as slings go, you don’t want a single point. It makes the rifle flop around too much and frankly turns the hanging gun into a homing missile for your nutsack. Don’t buy a single point. Vickers, AWS and Pig slings are all decent options. Again, find something that suits your budget and go from there.

For a two point sling (which I HEAVILY recommend), you will need an Mlok attachment point. It bolts to the Mlok slots using T nuts and has a hole for the sling to attach into. This will be the “female” attachment side. You will need a “male” attachment to go into that. Those are called “push button QD attachments” and most sling manufacturers will offer them as an additional purchase with the sling. From there, you can lace the sling through the existing little slot on then bottom of your stock, and lace the QD attachment through the other end of the sling and mate the bolt on QD point on the rifle to the to the QD attachment on the sling.

Your AR has the “M-Lok” system, which is how your attachments will attach to the guard.

Recommend Blue Force gear for sling

Welcome to an endless obsession with tinkering that if you ever get a rifle set up in a way you are happy with will only drive you to buy another one so you can start over doing it again.

Me too! Well, the upper and bag, that is. The lower came in and I got it transferred Sunday.

I’m thinking angled or ergonomic fore grip, but with a light like the link below. Fore Grip/Light
