    Take a phillips head screw driver and remove recoil pad. Take a flathead (very long) and remove buttstock. Place rear sling adapter on reciever between reciever and stock. Use BLUE Loctite on the screw securing the buttstock.

    For the front adapter take channel locks or vise grips and place blue painters tape over jaws. Place jaws on magazine cap and unscrew. Place adapter between tube and cap. Careful with the spring and reassemble using tools to resecure magazine cap. Attach sling.

    I wasn't clear enough. I have both slot adapters installed. That was easy. Configuring the sling has me a bit confounded. Thank you though Mopar92.

    The KZ adapter is primarily for attatching a single point sling with the larger clips. If you want a traditional QD mount Wal Mart has the screw in studs for about $10. Just drill a pilot hole in the traditional or any other location you like and screw in the stud using the white spacer or not.

    I think I figured it out and I don't like it. I am going to buy a Specter gear sling. It feels just like my Blackhawk sling.

    Okay for the record the adjusting part goes towards the front of the barrel. Then adjust sling so that the barrel (when slung) is about even with your mouth. This is so for long range shooting (yes it's possible with a shotgun albeit using slugs) you can place your nonfiring hand in the loop and tighten it to help support the firearm.
