I had already bookmarked the front sling mount you mentioned in another post but was curious how you had it mounted in the rear?

You are all most certainly welcome. The New Year seemed to call for a little information sharing.
The Vickers sling mounts through the horizontal slot in the buttstock under the back of the buffer tube. I have the CQD rear receiver mount between the buffer tube and the rear of the receiver, but to use it with the Vickers sling would require a ring or an eye type hook. The sling is very long already attached at the front of the handguard and the rear of the stock. Also, I do not like loose stuff close to the charging handle latch as it is critical that it not become fouled. You know Murphy is waiting, and the first time would be the last time.
