A new sling mount for firearms is disclosed. The sling mount in particular also serves as a recoil lug for the firearm. At least one loop extends outward from the sling mount for use in attaching a sling. This passage may require a hole to be cut into the casing of the firearm for accommodation. The shape, size, contours and location of the sling mount will be dependent upon the intended weapon platform. In any event, the at least one loop provides attachment for a sling while also avoiding entanglement of the sling with a folding stock.
