Quick Guide: Hellomaterials Stalker Sling Installation
Safety First!
⚠️ Before attempting any installation or adjustment, you must always confirm your rifle is safe to handle. This involves dropping the magazine, ensuring the chamber is clear, and leaving the bolt/action open.
Attach the Quick-Detach (QD) Swivels
The short side of the sling's webbing is specifically designed to connect to the front of your rifle. Before connecting, unscrew the collar on the swivel to ready it for insertion. To attach the swivel, simply depress the small pin, insert the hook into your rifle’s attachment stud, and rotate it until it clips firmly into place.
Once the swivel is securely locked into both the front and rear attachment points, remember to screw the collar back down tightly on both ends. This tightening action is crucial as it prevents unintended rotation and ensures a secure, locked fit for the entire sling.
Securing the Fore-End Strap
This step provides crucial control for manipulating the rifle. Before proceeding, gently close the rifle's bolt. Next, wrap the fore-end strap around the underside of your rifle's grip area (or fore-end).
Take the quick-release squeeze buckle and thread it through the loop, pulling the strap until it cinches down tightly on the stock. For maximum ergonomic comfort and to allow for easy operation of the bolt, position the squeeze buckle so it points outwards (preferably right to left).
Final Adjustments and Bipod Note
✔️ You're Installed!
With installation complete, your Stalker Sling is ready for personalization. Use the webbing slides to adjust the swivel height and the primary triglide buckle to fine-tune the overall length based on your body type and any external gear you are wearing (such as a backpack).
Bipod Installation:
If your rifle is equipped with a bipod, the rear attachment point remains the same. However, you must first close the bipod and then attach the front QD swivel directly to the bipod's designated attachment point.
