Magpul MOE Quick Detach Sling Attachment Installation Instructions

You also need a drill and a vise or some clamps to hold the hand guard while you're drilling

These aren't part of the installation instructions but they're included in case anybody is curious what some of the other non-standard Banshee parts are.

Make sure the magazine is removed, you have no round in the chamber, and the safety is on.

Hold the rifle in your normal grip so you can see where you want to install the attachment. For me, the location is very limited due to the small size of the hand guard.

I recommend marking the location with a sharpie marker. This way you won't accidentally drill the hole in the wrong place. This reminds me of the old woods shop saying, "Measure twice and cut once".

These instructions are specific to a Banshee so they might be different for you

Even with the screws and spacer out, your hand guard might not move. If this is the case, you can try to put a razor blade in where the spacer was and screw the Torx screws in from the opposite side. Only screw them in until the gap opens enough for the hand guard to slide off. You can then remove the razor blade and screws.

Place the mount over the sharpie mark. Notice the orientation of the nuts. The bump on the nuts should be down and not between the groove of the hand guard. Also make sure the long sides on the nuts do not go under the sling attachment hole. If they are under the hole they will get damaged when it's time to drill. Use a 1/8" allen wrench to tighten the screws. I was tempted to put some blue Loctite on the threads, but I didn't.

This is what it should look like from the front and back

This is your last chance to make sure you're going to install it in the correct position. You don't have to actually slide it on the rifle to verify it.

Secure the hand guard so you can drill

Use the Sling Attachment as a guide and drill the hole. The instructions for the part say to use moderate speed and pressure to cut through plastic. My hand guard isn't plastic so the cutting bit deformed. The hole got a good start before the bit deformed but it didn't go all the way through.

Finish the hole with a rat tail file

Insert the quick disconnect and make sure it fits correctly.

Put a razor blade into the slot of the hand guard and use the screws to expand the opening. Use the thick end of the razor blade. I originally used the thin end and the razor blade broke.

Slide the hand guard back on, install the spacer and tighten the screws.

Insert the quick disconnect and sling

The installation is complete. Here it's being shown with a Viking Tactics Wide Padded 2 Point Sling. It's nice having a Law Tactical installed because it gives the option to install the rear QD to it or the Arm Brace.
