The Universal Wire Loop with Push Button Socket is another purchase. https://www.opticsplanet.com/blue-force-gear-molded-universal-wire-loop-2-75in-length-push-button-version-gla.html.
The Molded UWL™ allows for a Vickers Sling or other slings 1.25” or thinner to attach to eyelets, slots, rail holes, or other unique mounting points on weapons.
If your firearm has QD mounts on the fore end and stock, you will not need any additional hardware for this sling to mount properly.
If you have QD mounts on your shotgun, then this will absolutely work.
The Blue Force Gear Vickers 221 2-to-1 Padded Sling requires a QD sling socket in order to attach to a rifle. Because the Mini-14 does not use a QD socket, you would not be able to utilize this sling.
If you have the QD Mounts on the front and rear, you will be good to go.
If you have a Beretta 1301 model with the QD attachment point that clamps to the barrel and magazine tube you will need a rear QD sling attachment point. GG&G makes a rear QD sling attachment point for the Beretta 1301 however, we currently do not have it available.

Yes, the two current options listed both come with QD hardware.
One side is sewn in while the other is not. The sewn in side is meant to be used when going from a two point to one point setup. The side that is not sewn in can be changed depending on the rifles sling mounting options.
