Drill hole in stock for sling?

The castle nut is molded on the buffer tube on the amoeba's but they also come with the sling plate you can remove and replace with one that has the spots to clip on a sling.

Is the buffer tube made of plastic?

your stock has 2 perfectly good sling points



1,2,3 point slings, para cord, QD atachments, the possibility are many, what you choose and how you use your sling is entirely what works best for you.

Just don't go attacking an innocent stock with a drill before you have tried the above options.

Yep, I did that since my Ares Amoeba does not have the lovely slot. I eventually got the right long QD mount but haven't bothered to install because there is something nice about a DIY.
