The VTAC Mk12 A2 buttstock sling adapter is a clone-correct component designed for the A2 stocks commonly found on military precision rifles, most notably the Mk12 Special Purpose Rifle (SPR). Developed by Kyle Lamb, a former U.S. Army Special Operations soldier, this adapter brings modern sling attachment capabilities to classic rifle designs.

• Designed by Kyle Lamb, former Delta Force operator
• Compatible with A2 and A1 buttstocks
• Tool-free installation and removal

The VTAC buttstock adapter addresses a crucial need in the evolution of military rifles. The Mk12 SPR, introduced in the early 2000s, was built on the M16 platform using A2 stocks, which lacked modern sling attachment points. Kyle Lamb's design elegantly solved this problem, allowing operators to use advanced tactical slings without permanent modifications to their rifles.
Lamb's experience in Delta Force informed the adapter's design. The Mk12, used by various special operations units, required a sling solution that was both reliable and easily removable for maintenance. The VTAC adapter met these needs, becoming a standard component on many Mk12 rifles deployed in combat operations.
For civilian enthusiasts and clone builders, this adapter offers a piece of military history. Its use extends beyond the Mk12, finding application on any rifle with an A2 or A1 stock. The adapter's design allows for quick transitions between firing positions and carry methods, a crucial feature in both military and competitive shooting environments.
What sets the VTAC adapter apart is its balance of simplicity and functionality. Unlike some aftermarket solutions, it requires no permanent alterations to the rifle, preserving the weapon's original configuration. This feature is particularly valuable for collectors and those who appreciate military authenticity.
The adapter's influence extends beyond its original military application. It has become a popular upgrade for civilian AR-15 platforms, allowing shooters to modernize their rifles while maintaining a classic aesthetic. This crossover appeal demonstrates the enduring value of Kyle Lamb's design, bridging the gap between military necessity and civilian shooting sports.
