Abstract
An improved sling and accessory attachment system for use on a firearm, camera and similar objects. The sling and accessory attachment system is comprised of a fitted, flush mounted anchor and removable external attaching members, one removable external attaching member fitted with a pivotal loop for attaching a sling or strap and another removable external attaching member capable of receiving a bipod or other accessory. The anchor receives and holds the removable external attaching member which is then rotated to a fixed stop and positively locked in place by a slideable pin. The removable external attaching member is quickly connected and quickly disconnected from the anchor.
