A question about the A300’s forearm Mlok slots… it there enough space to mount a Scout light and a qd sling cup on one side?

Would this work?

Not really.

Could you advise what you use as sling retainer? Thanks.

If you are referring to the piece to hold the sling tight/bundled, it's part of the sling.
Here's a link.

In Langdons you tube video on the A300 vice 1301 he claims the 1301 has less felt recoil than the A300. A very subjective thing to evaluate I know but I would like a few more opinions from those with the experience.

Both are gas operated though of a very different action design. The A300 weighs roughly a half pound more than the 1301. The 1301 is claimed to have a wider operating range of light loads (a real advantage, no doubt).

Assuming both shooting the same low recoil load I can't see a significant difference between the two existing. Always insuring that the A300 works well with it.

Any opinions?

Switched my dept issued rifles & shotguns to ESD slings. Everyone is loving them.
I set them all up using paracord on both ends in lieu of added attachments. Quiet, light, and oh so simple to rig.

Did you use the ESD paracord guide or just loose pieces of paracord?

Tried both.

Liked it better without the extra doodads.

I tie the end in a self locking knot and fills most of the space inside the sling anyway.

And just to give you an option #3…

Interesting. That's a pretty neat setup in the video. I have one ESD sling and like it a lot. I’ll probably pick up another one or two down the road. I’m using QD swivels but I’m always interested in a better mousetrap and the paracord idea looked good.

Swivels here as well.
.... But purchased the para-cord gizmos.
