Need a good tactical sling...

[Badgersmilk]

I like a good 3 point sling. The standard 2 point sling tends to let the rifle hang upside down, with a 30rd mag it will add to you reaction time flipping it back right side up and into action. Especially if you have to wear a bunch of other crap with it (radios, body armor, ect.). A GOOD 3 pt sling won't need to be adj. constantly. It will take some time to set up initially but once you get it right it should stay right. I tried single pt slings but for extended carry it swung around to much. I reckon for DOOR KICKERS AND CQB they would work good, but I'm not one of them types. When deployed I work on an airfield getting on and off aircraft with my rifle slung. So a 3pt works best for me!  

P.S. That's also what most of the Military is using today. The 2 pt is yesterdays tool!

The only thing that'd worry me about a 3 point on an AR is the 3 points I've seen have a strap going from front to back on the rifle...  AR's are COVERED with little spring loaded buttons and levers that the strap could get in the way of.   

No experience with a 3 point AR setup, so only guessing...

Unless your mounting the sling on the right side (for a lefty) that shouldn't be an Issue. The take down pins push out to the right side. Their are only two items on the left side that could be of issue, the selector/safety switch (witch is snug to the lower), and the bolt release paddle (no issues either), so far I haven't had any issues with the sling hanging on anything. Of course I'm not a front line door kicker so I can't speak with that kinda experience. But I like the 3pt so much I put one on my hunting rifle.

I've moved from 3 points to a 2 point, Viking Tactics sling.

 I don't know how I ever went this long without the quick adjustable feature on a sling.

I finally pulled the trigger in no part thanks to the input I received from you guys... And judging by the lack of availability I would imagine that I found this with just the right amount of luck. I ordered the Magpul ASAP single point mount and MS2 sling from western sports for a grand total of $85. I don't completely trust ordering online from people I don't know well so I ordered COD. In preparation for this I am still selling an Epiphone Les Paul for coincidentally $85. So if anyone wants an absolutely wonderful playing/sounding Les Paul for cheap let me know. Pictures are on the craigslist site below... I don't have a band anymore and I rarely used it when I did. But I know a lot of you have family that plays and not a bad beginner guitar or backup for cheap. Looks like new and plays just as good.

Hope it works for you! Let us know how you like it after you get it setup!

It's not this one is it?  They have different colors available, but $47 seems to be common.

Just a note... when I ordered my sling and end plate adapter I ordered them through a company online called Western Sports. I have never heard of the company but they have had incredible customer support. I decided after placing the order to change the color of the sling from black to the dark earth. Don't ask me why I don't really know. They not only switched it but did so on a Saturday evening with no grief about it. Find that kind of help at some of the larger dealers. MidwayUSA, Brownells are of course excellent. I am mainly referring to the CABELAS types that really don't do to well dealing with people... Just my opinion though.
