I am looking at different front sling mount options for my hopefully not too far in the future to be finished AR. I have a QD Endlplate for the rear mount and haven't decided what I want to use for a front mount. I will most likely be putting MOE handguards on it until I have the $$ to get a rail so it will likely have those handguards on it for a while. I was looking at the mounts that go on the front sight. Are their any issues with having the sling mounted there? Would mounting the sling to a piece of rail on the handguards be sturdy? What other recommendations do y'all have?

This is the mount I was looking at this morning:

Thanks very much.

I used a 1/8" cable clamp, blue it and mounted it to my standard hand guard. I plan on using this when I attach a MOE hand guard as well. The sling I am using now uses a H&K style hook. When I replace the sling soon I plan on using the ITW Mash hook instead. This way it moves the sling back behind my hand an out of the way, my old mount was around the front of the hand guard and would interfere with my hand placement.
