M16A4 Sling Set Up

[USMC6094]

So, I'm so old I was issued a web sling when I was active duty. When I was in the guard we had three point slings that were certified junk.
I did have a Specter sling at one time that was the up and coming set up, but this was before it came with the magazine pouch for the stock.

Well, I'm now 17 years out, own an FN Collector A4, and want to set it up as the Marines did after I got out. But I have no idea where to start looking.......

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

And we thought the top mount sling adapters for our M16A1s were ultra high-speed! 😄

Legit setup in the article, here’s a good friend of mine during the push to Baghdad. You can see the same sling and mag pouch in black:
