Thread: AR Sling

I've been looking at a two point sling for my AR. I'm not sure which particular one I want to go with. What sling does everyone have and what do you recommend? Let me know. Thanks.

Larry Vickers Tactical sling is what I have. It is a very well made sling.

Another thing are the mounts. The DD ones are about $90 for the pair (QD). I don't think I can justify spending that much on sling mounts.

Yes you can....they are nice

What he said.

The Blue Force Gear Vicker Combat Application Sling is the only way to go. The material and craftsmanship are second to none. I have three of these sling. I prefer to to run the rear part of the sling to the rear of the buttstock and the the front of the sling to a Rail Mount QD Swivel Attachment Point (DD) mounted near the back of my rail system. This is what works best for me.

By rear of buttstock, I assume you mean the attachment that is standard on collapsible stocks?

I prefer to use a QD swivel if used with a Vltor or CTR Stock. Otherwise, you utilize the horizontal slot in the rear.

I'm using a DD single point end plate for the rear and a DD QD mount on my rail.

The sling...Vickers of course.

I ordered the 5.11 padded presision long range sling the other day. Its a moddified Vickers I believe. Also incorperates a cuff sling which I like. I hate bipods and rather sling up.
