CAR-15/M4 Low-Profile Ambidextrous Sling Adapter (UPC 050806107786)
Upgrade your carbine’s mobility without adding bulk. The CAR-15/M4 Low-Profile Ambidextrous Sling Adapter delivers a streamlined, receiver-end mounting point for modern single-point or two-point sling setups—on either shoulder. Designed to sit tight at the rear of the lower receiver, this low-snag adapter keeps your sling close to the carbine’s centerline for faster transitions, cleaner shoulder swaps, and less interference with plate carriers, chest rigs, or backpacks.
Whether you run a classic CAR-15, duty-ready M4, or a lightweight AR-15 build, this ambi adapter is a smart, unobtrusive way to boost retention, comfort, and control.
Why You’ll Like It
True Ambidexterity
Mount and run your sling from the left or right side without reconfiguring your kit—ideal for shoulder transitions, barricade work, or southpaw shooters.
Low-Profile, Snag-Resistant
Slim geometry hugs the receiver to reduce hot spots, minimize catching on kit, and preserve your cheek weld and charging-handle access.
Centerline Balance
Rear-receiver placement keeps the sling pivot close to the carbine’s center of mass, helping the rifle hang naturally and improving comfort on long movements.
Broad Sling Compatibility
Works with common sling clips and attachments (e.g., HK-style hooks, MASH hooks, paraclips) and standard webbing sizes used on single-point or convertible two-point slings.*
Rugged, Field-Ready Construction
Built to handle hard use, with a durable finish that resists corrosion and rough weather.
*Always verify your specific sling/clasp style fits the adapter’s loop geometry.

If you’re not comfortable with receiver-extension work, consult a qualified armorer or gunsmith.
Field Benefits
Faster Shoulder Swaps: Ambi mounting lets you switch sides to manage cover angles without fighting your sling.
Cleaner Rifle Hang: Rear mount prevents the muzzle from pitch-forward “diving,” improving comfort and safety during long carries.
Less Interference: The low-profile loop reduces the chance of snagging on body armor, chest straps, and comms cables.
Care & Maintenance
Quick Wipe-Down: After wet or dusty outings, wipe the adapter and sling hardware with a lightly oiled cloth.
Inspect Attachment Points: Check the loop and your sling clasp for wear, sharp burrs, or deformation.
Verify Torque/Staking: Periodically confirm the castle nut remains tight and properly staked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this work with QD push-button swivels?
A: The adapter is optimized for clip-style attachments (HK/MASH/paraclip). If you prefer push-button QD, use a QD end plate or M-LOK QD socket elsewhere on your rail/stock.
Q: Does it add noticeable length or interfere with the stock?
A: The design is low-profile to minimize interference. Verify clearance with your stock fully collapsed and extended.
Q: Can I run a two-point sling from this mount?
A: Yes—many shooters run a rear attachment here and a front attachment on the handguard for a versatile two-point setup.
Q: Do I need special tools?
A: An armorer’s wrench, torque reference, and (optionally) staking tools are recommended to service the castle nut/end plate.
