I'm finally getting around to building a couple of two point rifle slings. Magpul sells a simple nylon sling that will do the trick but it comes without hardware. I've been looking for 1.25" H&K hooks but several of the usual suspects (e.g. Brownels) are out of stock.
If you have a source let me know. I'd prefer black but OD, FDE, or coyote would be ok. Steel not plastic or pot metal please. Enquiring minds want to know.

Brownells has them, in stock when I looked. You may also try surplus stores. I use 550 cord, have used it for years on my issued UMP

Thanks for the tip. I had filled out one of their “notify me when back in stock” forms on line yesterday but had not heard anything. I’ll check them out again.

They are indeed in stock at Brownell’s but that fifth customer review is devastating,

Found some here at 30% off the manufacturer’s price. (Not sure how that works!)

Aluminum frame with a steel latch. Manufacturer claims a 165 lb dead weight rating so I’m going to try them.

I got some 1 1/4" h&k type quick clips with a few slings from CDNN a while back.. Might want to give a look there.

If a UK hook fits your rifles sling eyes, they will fit MASH hooks.

MASH hooks are many times more secure from either metal failure or twisting off accidentally.

They do take a little longer to take on and off until you figure them out, but I think their security is more than worth it.
