Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Getting a solid sling attachment point up front on your AR shouldn't be complicated, and the Midwest Industries MCTAR-08 keeps it simple. It clamps onto any M1913 Picatinny or Weaver-style rail using a two-piece base and a single cross-bolt, giving you a secure spot to run a sling without drilling, adapting, or fussing with parts that never seem to fit right. Best part is it ships ready to go with the swivel already included, so you're not hunting down extra pieces before you can get out the door.
The adapter comes with a 1-1/4 inch wide, 360-degree rotating push-button QD swivel, which means your sling detaches fast and rotates freely instead of binding up when you shoulder or sling the rifle. That full rotation is handy for single-point, two-point, or transition-heavy setups where the sling needs to move with you. The whole unit is machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in mil-spec hardcoat anodized matte black, with a matte black oxide steel setscrew that resists corrosion and holds its clamp over time.
At right around 0.9 ounces, the MCTAR-08 adds a sling point without weighing down the front of your build or throwing off the balance. The low-profile footprint sits close to the rail so it stays out of the way of your support hand and doesn't snag on gear. Midwest Industries builds these in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty, which tells you what they think of their own machining.
This is a go-to fix for rifles and shotguns that have plenty of rail but no dedicated QD socket up front. Folks running quad rails, older handguards, or platforms with faux QD points reach for this to get a real, repeatable attachment spot. If you already run a sling with its own QD swivels, you'll appreciate that the mount gives you a reliable place to clip in and pull off in seconds.
The MCTAR-08 includes a 1-1/4 inch wide, 360-degree rotating push-button QD swivel right in the box. That's the main difference from the MCTAR-07, which only has a stud and requires you to supply your own swivel. So with this one you can mount it and run your sling the same day.
It's built for M1913 Picatinny and Weaver-style rails, which covers the vast majority of AR handguards and rail systems out there. The two-piece base clamps over the rail and locks down with a single cross-bolt. Just find an open rail slot near the front of your handguard and you're set.
It tips the scale at roughly 0.9 ounces, so it's about as light as a functional metal sling mount gets. The low-profile design keeps it tucked close to the rail so it stays clear of your support hand and doesn't catch on gear. You get a real QD point without noticeably changing the feel of your build.
Yes, the included swivel rotates a full 360 degrees, which keeps your sling from binding as you shoulder, sling, or transition the rifle. That free movement works well with single-point, two-point, and convertible slings alike. It's especially nice when you're clipping in and out often.
