Just wanted to know if anyone could point me in the direction of a light mounting solution for the Wolf A1 upper. Does anyone make a rail section that screws in to the threaded holes in the top handguard? I'm also curious about mounting a two point quick-adjust sling. Do you just clip the sling to the ring on the gas piston retainer?

We are working on new top Tri-Rail with M-LOK slots.
As for the sling, clip to the gas ring and other end with short tail loop on the butt stock.

Will this be like the one that you mentioned would not be forthcoming? Pictured on the store page that fits in the two threaded poly HG holes?
Still want something like that.
In the mean time OP, this is what I use for this configuration. Will accept a light/laser/sling point, QD or loop.

Interesting, clamps directly on to the barrel? I normally don't like that, but the A1's barrel is so freakin' beefy I can't see how it would matter.

Anyone know the thread pitch on those threaded holes in the upper handguard? I'm gonna pick up a polymer rail section and see if I can drill it out and find some fasteners to attach it to the top of the handguard for experiment's sake.
