Title: AR sling recommendations
Post by: Rastus on January 14, 2012, 08:50:44 PM
Any recommendations on single point slings?  As soon as I got a three point and tried it out on some drills I found it I could get killed with it.  Magpul has a nice one and I like the Phase 5 revolving attachment point.

Recommendations?

I got a cheap single point sling and all it's good for making my rifle hit me in the nuts :-[ Make sure you get a good one.  I hear good things about Magpul.

Don't do that it hurts ;D ;D ;D
I have a Donnell's single point sling on my 870 and have had no problems.

i highly recommend the Magpu!   it is great because it is both a single q a double point.  a single is good for cqb  but for marching,  hiking,  climbing, you want the double point.  especially if you have to transition to your backup!  Magpul makes good hardware locks.   you don't want to have your weapon take a digger due to your sling's hardware breaking.

DO NOT get the stupid bungy slings, if you have to jump, out of a vehicle, over something, drop and sling your AR off to your side it will nose dive the muzzle right in the dirt, mud, whatever.

I have a Vector Tactical SP quick hawser on three of mine, even my AK, same sling works three rifles in a single "clip"...

Also agree long hikes, marches, etc,...getting the second latch point is key across the chest. Vector has that option, and +1 on the Magpul...
