The Matrix M41A doesn't have a sling loop, I like to know how everyone attach sling to it.

I took a key ring loop and attached it to the barrel grills and the other end to the holes in the stock

I just hooked my sling into the same areas, the barrel grill and the holes in the stock. It works ok.

It adds unnecessary stress to the grill and stock, I am trying to find a better solution

Screw in a small eyelet into the front triangle perhaps?

I am trying to find a way that sling loop is an add-on, no modification to the rifle itself.
I got some ideas, stay tuned.

i have the G/P kit which i believe is alot heavier than the NEW versions and my method holds the weight just fine

Okay here it is, two short straps with buckle, two small D-rings.
No modification to the rifle.
I know the front sling attachment point isn't screen accurate, I feel that having the sling attached so close to the muzzle could be a safety issue.
Also added a layer of packing foam with double sided tape to the stock as recoil pad, to increase friction and protect armor from scratching damage.

Looking good! I however went with what Nocternus said and it does the job nicely.

I would like to point out though, for those that may want to add a sling point to their Snow Wolf/ Matrix, not to attempt drilling or screwing anything into the front triangle as I believe the triangle itself houses the sensor for the counter.

Kampfer, can I ask where you go tthe two small straps, buckle, and d-ring? Did it come asa set or did you scrounge for parts and put it together yourself?

You can get the straps with buckle from surplus place, cut them down to the right length. add the D rings.

That's corrrect it does DK. It's quite an intricate assembly so I doubt it could be drilled out in any way without damaging it.

Nice solution Kampfer Lin. I'll probably do something like this myself. :like:

In terms of suitable straps these IDF sling adaptors will probably do the trick: http://www.zahal.org/products/sling-adaptar?path_parent=153457

Cheers.
