Sling attachment guidance for the KelTec KS7. Check your exact configuration and both connectors before choosing the McLean Shotgun Sling. Factory attachment points do not by themselves confirm a direct fit.
Front attachment
M-LOK slots on the carry handle and pump — aftermarket attachment option.
KelTec's KS7 manual lists M-LOK compatible slots on the stock, pump and carry handle for mounting accessories, and names no sling swivel or loop. A sling needs an M-LOK sling mount added in one of those slots. An M-LOK slot is not a QD socket.
Aftermarket attachment option: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening.
Rear attachment
M-LOK slot at the rear of the stock — aftermarket attachment option.
The manual's nomenclature shows an M-LOK slot at the rear of the stock. Fit an M-LOK sling mount there. Confirm the mount clears your hand and the loading port before use.
Aftermarket attachment option: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening.

Why this sling on the KelTec KS7
Duty, home-defence and competition use put a shotgun on and off the shoulder constantly, often with a hand busy loading. Retention matters more here than raw comfort: the gun has to lock against the body and release without a second thought.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the shotgun against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the shotgun. Unload and clear it following the firearm manufacturer’s instructions before fitting any accessories.
- Front: confirm a compatible connector and follow the sling and attachment manufacturer instructions.
- Rear: confirm the matching connector for your stock or rear attachment; do not assume a slot, stud and QD cup are interchangeable.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Choosing hardware for your configuration
The cited manual covers the original KS7 with the carry handle. The current KS7 GEN2 has a Picatinny-style rail molded into the forend and a top rail in place of the carry handle, and KelTec's GEN2 page does not describe sling attachments. Inspect a GEN2 for its M-LOK slots before choosing mounts.
Because both ends are M-LOK slots, the sling attachment is a choice of mount rather than a fixed point. Pick mounts that suit a two-point sling on a short bullpup. Neither end has a factory stud or QD cup in KelTec's documents.
Questions
Does the McLean Shotgun Sling fit the KelTec KS7?
Compatibility depends on the exact configuration and connectors. Confirm both attachment points and the connector fit before ordering. A factory attachment point does not by itself confirm a direct fit for the McLean sling.
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my KelTec KS7?
The McLean sling already carries a front hook. Choose a compatible attachment loop or swivel for that hook, and confirm its clearance and closure on your exact setup before buying additional hardware.
What do I need to buy for the KelTec KS7?
Front: Aftermarket attachment option: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening. Rear: Aftermarket attachment option: a webbing slot is not a QD cup or proof that a hook fits. Confirm the connector and webbing dimensions for this opening.
What length sling do I need for the KelTec KS7?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
