I think the 009 will work? It seems it clips to the shroud, rather than wrap around it, and I'm pretty sure you could find a ring or something to fit around the barrel for it to clip too, or even a front sight for it to clip to.

I used just a single point sling.  It could probably just go on your barrel if you def want that one.  But you could just go get some nylon 1" strap and some clips and make one like i did.

well see with this sling it allows you to switch from from strong arm to weak arm extremely quickly for shooting around corners where i play that would help a lot with a standard 3 point i might be able to under the rear clip and switch but wastes time and creates noise because of velcro.

the velcro would only hold the sling on and you would not touch it at all during the game.  Instead you would use the clips.

Jeff, go to Walmart and you can find a nearly identical sling to: http://www.spectergear.com/mout_sling.htm in their hunting department for about $6.00. They have them in black, camo and realtree camo. You might have to put another hole in it to make the attachment point loop big enough depending on what type of stock you have.

At walmart you can buy a swivel set that has two bolts and two swivels. One of the bolts in it is an exact match to the receiver bolts of my 98, which i believe is the same as the A5. I'm not sure exactly which set it is, just look in the packages and you'll see one of the swivel sets has the tiny threads like the receiver bolts of your gun.
