M4/M203 Tactical Slings?

Hello, first of all I would like to introduce myself. I'm an active duty MP stationed in Korea but headed to Iraq in November. I'm new to the board and I don't intend to post much because most of the time my questions have already been answered and I'm not a BTDT yet...But since time is of the essence and I have been unable to find a definitive answer, I'll ask around here. I need to obtain a tactical sling for my M4/M203. All of the websites that I've found make them for M4s or fixed stock M16/M203s. So will I be able to use a standard M4 sling for my weapon or not? I've searched the archives of this forum and many others because I know how much you gentlemen hate newbies asking questions without doing their own research first. Thanks in advance for any info. you can provide.

Kuri,

I believe that Guy has given you the appropriate answer. Good luck. Note info early in the thread as well as the link that Guy provided.

Thanks Gentlemen!

I checked out the thread about Singlepoint slings before I posted my question, (thanks for the reply Guy), but I guess all I need to know is will a sling made to fit a standard M4 work on my M4/m203? Thanks again for all the help guys.

Since you are carrying a M4/M203 IMHO...I would go with the single point...http://www.spectergear.com/mout_sling.htm

That way the sling would be out of the way, while operating the M203.

Just a quick side note:

Kuri if you get the single point sling make sure you get the end plate for it.
