The Samson Manufacturing B.A. Sling Point is a replacement gas block cap designed for early Ruger Mini-14 and Mini Thirty rifles. This pre-2007 version in black fits Mini-14 rifles with a factory straight pencil .562" diameter barrel, serial number prefixes 181 through 199 (excluding 580 and higher). It also works with Mini Thirty rifles equipped with the older factory straight pencil .625" diameter barrel. If you're running an earlier-generation Mini-14 or Mini Thirty and need a reliable sling attachment point integrated directly into your gas block cap, this is a straightforward upgrade that consolidates two components into one.
Built from 4140 chromoly steel with a black oxide finish, the B.A. Sling Point is compact and lightweight—just 1.3 ounces—so it won't affect the balance of your rifle. The integrated sling attachment lets you mount a traditional rifle sling without adding bulk or requiring additional hardware. This is the kind of practical upgrade that older Mini-platform shooters have been looking for: a factory-style replacement cap that does double duty as a sling lug. It bolts straight in where the standard gas block cap sits, making installation and removal straightforward if you ever need to swap it out.
Ruger Mini-14 and Mini Thirty owners who favor iron-sight hunting, sport shooting, or general utility carry will appreciate the clean, integrated design. The sling point sits naturally on the gas block, keeping your attachment hardware low and out of the way. This is honest, no-nonsense gear: no fancy coatings, no frills, just a solid steel component that does what it's meant to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this B.A. Sling Point fit my Mini-14?
This pre-2007 black version is designed for Ruger Mini-14 rifles with a factory straight pencil .562" diameter barrel, serial number prefix 181 through 199 (not including 580 or higher). If your Mini-14 was manufactured in 2008 or later with a flanged barrel, you'll need the 2008+ version instead. Check your serial number prefix and barrel type before ordering.
What Mini Thirty rifles are compatible?
This sling point works with Mini Thirty rifles equipped with the older factory straight pencil .625" diameter barrel. Mini Thirty rifles with the newer factory flanged .625" diameter barrel will also be compatible with this pre-2007 version.
How do I install the B.A. Sling Point?
The B.A. Sling Point replaces your factory gas block cap directly. It bolts into the same mounting location, making installation straightforward for anyone comfortable performing basic rifle maintenance. No gunsmithing required.
What's included with the sling point?
The B.A. Sling Point gas block cap is sold as a standalone component. The integrated sling attachment point is ready to use once installed; you'll need to provide your own sling or sling hardware separately if you don't already have one.
