[@burtbiggum499]

Where do you recommend to start sewing?

[@AlphaMachina]

@@burtbiggum499 Start by watching some KZbin videos on how to sew by hand. Then if you don't want to spend a lot of money, I found a $300 Singer sewing machine with nothing wrong with it at the Goodwill store for $12. I bought a cheap quick adjust sling off of Amazon that has VERY good webbing (the "brand" was "DMAIP"), very soft but strong material, but it has terrible QD's on it, so I had to use a razor blade to cut the stitching out so I could replace the QD on one end of it with some decent BCM one's, and then used my sewing machine to put the same stitch pattern back into it. Works great and I saved a lot of money. The sling I got is made with really good material, but the QD's were unusable. Still worth the buy, if you're able to replace and restitch the QD's.

[@-TWON-]

My first project was a dopp kit(travel case) from Klum House. I used a very entry level sewing machine and followed the pattern instructions. I made mistakes and learned so much from just an entry level project. Small achievable goals is the key to sewing. I got discouraged with a larger project and had to step back and remember my skill level. Go to a local store and ask simple questions too, crusty old ladies love a man who wants to sew.

Been using the BFG Vickers for nearly 4 years and have no real complaints about it. I have a Pelican case full of 3 point, 2 point, and 1 point slings that are now left to the ravages of time.

[@Quality_Guru]

I looked at the custom Blue Force Gear sling and priced it in excess of 100 dollars. After I realized that it was overkill for my amateur needs, I looked at the Mag-Pull MS1 sling and used one of the end points from BFG. I have tighten it very securely for precision shooting and it has never slipped. BTW the material that is used on the Mag-Pul sling is a proprietorial material made in Europe for Mag-Pul. It feels and moves great and is able to support a heavy rifle. I don’t think that there is a bad sling out there, but you can certainly over pay.

[@AttackYakChaos]

If I get the ms1 I don’t get how it connects to my rifle? Do you have to buy the connectors that go on sling and then where it goes into rifle?

[@CasualVitality]

@@AttackYakChaos Depends on what your rifle has attachment point wise. Most stocks have a QD (Quick detatch) socket, basically a hole that a QD sling connector fits into. You can buy the QD sling swivel on their own and add them to a sling, or you can buy slings with the QD sling swivels already attached. The Magpul MS1 sling and Blue force gear vickers have options that already have the QD sling swivels attached. You just have to make sure your rifle already has two QD slots, one on the stock and one on the handguard. If you don't have one on the handguard, you need to buy a QD sling adapter that fits into any MLOK rail. Hope that helps!

[@M--GT8223]

​@@AttackYakChaos​My magpul is the MS3 (the MS1 that comes with the lockable "squeeze" clips attached). To use it, I installed the "Paraclip Sling Mount" (on the side of my handguards-- about $20), and the "QD paraclip adapter" (on my stock-- $17). But you can always just clip it to your traditional AR swivels, if you want, until you decide how you want to use it. The result is, my sling is quickly & easily adjusted for firing; it's 100% removable in a hurry (a feature I really love at the range or anytime I'm doing AR maintenance); and it's easily convertible to single point, as Hop said, although I have yet to find a real need for that-- But options are always nice. Think I bought mine for about $50. And combined with the quality, adaptability, and ease of use makes it an excellent buy, imo-- No I don't work for Magpul lol. I do recommend a channel called "Regular Guy Training" where he did a review on this exact sling after years of using it as a soldier, frequently under combat conditions. What really sold me is he still uses this sling to date. Good luck-- just don't settle for something you don't want

True. Love you Hop. Sling is required for gun. Period. Single point is a retention device only. Not for carry, because it just allows the gun to abuse your jewels when you’re on the move, forcing you to actually carry gun with hands- no good. 3 point is stable, but also in the way, all the time, and was conceived in a time when attachment options (to gun) were poor. 2 point, necessary. Quick adjust, necessary. There is no reason to not go this route today. Paying more than $100, not necessary. Bungee, not necessary.

[@jasongaudreau2075]

So, after several different types of slings throughout the years I too, have the personal opinion of favorite being the ferro slingster. The pad is movable and even completely removable if necessary. But….i added to this by adding a magpul ms1-ms4 adapter. Since I use magpul (or bcm, or bfg) qd rings, the extra 3” of overall length helps (usually attach to rear of receiver (FCD sells a back plate that has 3 different qd points, straight back and left and right sides) or…on my buttstock (b5 sopmod, mag ctr, and b5 cps). I attach another qd on the forward end of sling, and mount that close to receiver when using qd end plate point….or all the way up front (using a bcm mlok qd sling mount) when I attach the rear to the buttstock. You want your sling to balance the rifle so you must mount qd’s evenly, when rear qd is attached under buffer tube, front qd must be closest to receiver. When using “far end” attachment points….both ends of sling need to be as close to each end as possible, example being the rear of buttstock, and extreme end of hand guard rail. The reason for the ms1-ms4 extension is so on occasion, I can switch it to a single point, which gives the best overall maneuverability to the weapon. So, get yourself a ferro concepts slingster…a magpul ms1-ms4 qd adapter…and a bcm qd mount with qd. Or, just 1 more magpul qd ring. You end up with an excellent 2pt-1pt quick adjustment, movable pad sling that just rocks!!! Can also buy some 1” elastic “belt keepers” to use like the Ed Sherman style wrap and to “quiet” any metal parts. I believe you can get em by the ten-pack on amazon.

[@RunningWithSauce]

Short, concise and conclusive. Love it. Would enjoy your perspective on the Warrior Poet sling.

[@PreacherT5]

Own the slingster, its a solid sling my only issue with it is the massive adjuster on it. It adds bulk if stowing the sling to your gun, its also metal which due to its weight tends to swing where it wants and hit stuff on the gun. It has great adjustability and the pad is perfect. Im actually moving to a trex arms sling because of the metal slider. If your not stowing your sling to your gun then you need not worry.

[@noahmanning3209]

Edgar Sherman hands down makes the best sling. Ferro’s metal buckle constantly scratches your rifle. When you attempt to adjust the length, it never stop where I want. It has to slide to engage the cam, so it ends up losing tension every time I tighten it. Sold it it just a few months after buying it.

I went the Ferro Slingster on the advice of an LE friend. Because I use a (right-handed shooter) over-and-under support arm, "twist," to lock in the strap Using this hold I was hitting, and occasionally activating, the slide mechanism. I then went with a GBRS sling. It has basically the same function but the adjustment is done via a pliable strap that does not cause the same problems. Magpul strap is very strong and sewn well, as noted here however the adjustment slide (plastic) piece does not stay in position. Good for belaying though...

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Those wellsmade slings look to be just about what I'm looking for for my rifle. no padding, no BS features, just a slim webbing with a quick adjust. I do find the Magpul QS4 works well on my AR-9 pistol, but yeah that quick adjust likes to slip around pretty easily.

[@PastaLaVista.]

MS4 is great. Good to have the option of single point when nut damage risk is minimal. Haven’t gone hard enough to see the adjuster slip. Also qd endplates are a better attachment point IMO than the far side of the buttstock. Takes just one more quick movement to do shoulder switches and it never interferes with my cheek weld

I found instructions for a replica Vickers sling on instructables, only cost me $16 in parts

[@Smokey66s]

Perhaps not as well known, I am very happy with my Urban ERT sling, worth a look.

I have an AK sling i ran thru my gas block on my ar and the buttstock. It works super well, only issue is its a lil annoying on my shoulder after a day of carry😊

IMO homemade is your best option if you’re even moderately creative. 3-5 Tri-glide slides, abt 6 feet of nylon tube webbing, and a few feet of paracord- all from Amazon, and a cam-buckle like from an ALICE pack. Put all that together and you have a decent tactical sling starter pack. Assembly videos are all over YT. Total cost is around $15, most expensive part is the cam buckle.

The thing I hate about the Slingster is the metal on the adjustment slider, it bangs around and would make being quiet nearly impossible, but I am going to try putting some Gorilla Tape or Electrical Tape on the exposed metal. The Way of the Gun Sling is one of my favorites because it is can attach to nearly any long gun and has no metal

[@oceres]

There is a few companies that make covers for the metal part (forget the name - but should come standard IMO)

[@commanderosis435]

There is an all metal tri glide on the blue force gear Vickers sling. Just an fyi. Great video as always hop

Fastex buckles are a must, having an additional way to get out of the sling in an emergency is an option you don't know you need it till ya need it.

[@fubar1984]

99% of shooters run at least a front qd attachment. I wouldn't say a buckle is a must

[@pmorin313]

@@fubar1984 fastex is faster under stress..nothing to do with how the sling is attached to the rifle

[@swiss_luri8151]

I have two unpaded vcas slings and I'm very happy with them.

A rifle without a sling is like a pistol without a holster.
