Its a Vector Arms that I simply wrapped the buttstock and pistol grip in paracord for a better grip and I made a topsling adapter out of more paracord.
Its pretty secure and didn't take that long. The sling is just a little short though, so I was considering a USGI silent sling for an AR or relocating the front loop back around the gas block area.
Hope you guys like it :)

It it's stupid and it works, then it's not stupid.
Great rigging, I'm a tradtionalist, so its not my cup of tea.
A suggestion, maybe re-locate the bottom sling loop to the top.

Be careful with attaching 550 cord anywhere near the barrel. That stuff will melt onto the barrel after it gets hot and you will have a bit of a mess to clean up. Not to mention no longer having a functioning sling. I have seen it happen in the Army when a private puts 550 cord on their front sight post.

BER-R-R-Y NICE! :supergrin:
550 cord on or near the barrel - no
How to wrap a handle or grip? You made it work and it may be fine for your needs. I would want to make it look neater and tighter in appearance. This site should help you. Soaking your cord will help stretch and get a tight fit. The loop at the bottom of the wrap pulls the end back in tight and looks clean. I don't use a loop on the top of my knife. I am not trying to be mean spirited just trying to help:

If it works for you then good but I honestly think it looks terrible and probably wont work as well as you think it will.
I think the paracord is a great idea, dont get me wrong but I think you could take a little more time and make it look nicer.
The sling, theres no hope for it.....dont like the idea or the way it looks.
I use a Sceptre single point MOUT sling on my AK, great sling and its was just a titch over $20.....bought extra buckles so I can rig up all my guns with the same attachment system. This way you just detach one gun, leave the sling in place on your person and hook up the next gun.

Dude, 86 the electrical tape, its gonna get nasty when it gets hot.
Gee uh...thanks for the "constructive" criticism. This took like an hour to do, which looks like 40 minutes more than I actually did. This just goes to show you what happens when you have paracord lying around and you don't get laid on a regualr basis
:rofl: :animlol:
Nice gun. You can probably channel some of that energy towards painting that room a different color :tongueout:
