Buffer Tube Sling Mount
Included with the Irene Adaptive Sling is a Buffer Tube Sling Mount. The IAS works best when the Static Hook is connected to a sling point at the rear of the receiver. If you do not have a sling point at this position then use the included Buffer Tube Sling Mount. Instructions for securing the Buffer Tube Sling Mount are included with the IAS. They can also be downloaded in .pdf form here. We would like to emphasize that a rigid static point connected to the rear of the reciever is the best solution. The included fabric Buffer Tube Sling Mount will work, however a rigid point is ideal. |

FAQ
Q: Why is it named the ‘Irene Adaptive Sling’?
A: The IAS (while in its prototype stage) was first field tested at the Zussman Military Operation Urban Terrain (MOUT) Facility at Ft. Knox, KY during Operation Irene. Operation Irene is a memorial event in honor of those who died in Mogadishu, Somalia, 1993. Mission Spec saw it only too appropriate to dedicate this sling to those fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Q: Will the IAS work with my MagPul ASAP plate?
A: Yes, with no complications.
Q: Will the IAS work with my MagPul RSA Mount?
A: Yes, with no complications.
Q: Can the IAS be fired from its Two-Point mode?
A: Not in its shipped configuration. Lengths of webbing can be let out to extend the IAS to a larger size allowing 2-Point firing. However, this will make the one-point mode, which is the IAS main battle mode, less functional. Two-Point mode is designed to give the user the ability to use both of his/her hands when they are needed (climbing, rendering aid, going ‘hands on’).
Q: Someone told me that on the range I will not be allowed to transition from one-point battle mode to two-point transport mode. Why is this?
A: Most likely this is true. Changing modes does increase the likelyhood of a barrel-sweep situation. However there would be no reason to use the IAS in two-point mode on a range. If practicing transitions from primarty to secondary weapons the User should simply drop the rifle to hang and then proceed to transition.
Q: How large of a weapon can the IAS support?
A: The distance between the Static and Dynamic Hook an be expanded to 26 inches. If your weapons mounting points are equal or less than this distance it should be able to be used in conjunction with the IAS.
Q: I am left handed. Will the IAS work for me? Is it ambidextrous?
A: Yes, the IAS is completely ambidextrous. You will always place your weak/support/reaction arm through the loop that the sling creates. The sling will operate exactly as it is demonstrated in the instructional video on our website but as a mirror image.
