I have a CMP M1907 black sling on my varmit configuration. I will use this rifle for league.

My M4-gerie has a black fabric M1 sling.

I keep looking at the options and am open to change on the M4-gerie.

The problem i have with Optics Planet is that they show they have something in inventory, but when you order it they end up not having it available.

 Has anyone else run into this with Optics Planet?

I prefer the standard "GI" 2 point sling.

Ditto.  I have two & both have two-point GI cloth slings.  I have no interest in appearing "tacti-cool," I'm no longer crashing through doors wearing body armor and ninja stuff and I'm not planning a trip to Afghanistan any time soon, so for my purposes, the GI sling works perfectly. 

For covert carry however, I discovered from one of the gun forums I belong to, what is called a "gig bag."  What that is, is a soft sided electric guitar case.  Someone sees a guy walking down the street carrying a gun case, there may be a call to 9-1-1 happening very soon.  Dumb, I know, but it happens.  See an old guy walking down the street with a guitar case on his back, and most folks don't give you a second look.  I got the kind that has back pack straps & outside pockets perfect for spare magazines.  I built up the inside with foam rubber to keep it's shape.  Set me back about $15.00.  Google "gig bag" and check them out.   Lots of colors and options.  I even fooled my gun savvy son, who thought the old man had gone over the edge and turned hippie.   8)

My dad padded a guitar case with foam for a folding stocked shotgun.  Fits his AK 47 perfectly too.

Bought a Vickers sling today.  I'll let you know how I like it.
