Best two point quick adjust sling for carbine?

[Big Dog Steel]

Gents,

I am in the market for a quick adjust, two point sling for a carbine. I've get a general idea of what I am leaning towards, but would like to hear what everyone else is using and why.

Thanks!

Padded VTAC with QD swivels is my preference

I've tried a few and always go back to one of the 2 point slings from blue force gear. I like the materials they use. Have held up great through carbine schools.

I have been using a Savvy Sniper sling for over a year now. All around good things to say about the quality of it and usability.

+1, I've played around with a handful of 2-point slings, and this one has met my needs.

I personally like Magpu MS3/MS4 Slings for their ability to convert from two point to one point if needed. V-TAC is a also a great options too. I have two V-Tac for my Heavy .308s and two MS3 for my AR15 Carbines.

 

[corym468]

I love the MS4 for their ability to quickly convert to a one point. I have then on all of my ARs. However, I've never tried the blue force.

 

[Metal Gear]

I used the MS4 for a while and did like it, then when I heard all the rage about Savvy Sniper Slings I dediced to get one and give it a try and have not looked back since. Ended up selling my MS4 to a friend. If you guys have not used one of these or heard of them I highly suggest looking them up.

Buddy of mine was so adamant about me getting the sheriff of Baghdad sling that he bought me one haha. Its pretty slick you can go from carrying it in your back to shooting in just over a second. Just pull the skull to increase the length. I've never been a sling guy until I tried this one. I'd like to try a vtac though heard pretty good things about it too.

[Armed Ferret]

love the vtac, but it tends to get fray-tastic after about 6 months of serious use.

 

[jevan126]

I have a VTAC 2 Point sling with Quick Detach on my JP and works great so far.

 

[USGILT]

I like the Blue Force Gear Vickers VCAS

 

[TheyCallMeRob]

+1. Great sling got one for my scar 17 and about to get one for Tavor

 

[Sterling Shooter]

M1 cotton web sling, works in hasty or loop condition to support position.

 

[Delta4-3]

I like the VCAS the best, then VTAC, then MS3.

 

[SWThomas]

VTAC padded.

 

[rjacobs]

Ive got 3 or 4 VCAS slings, a padded VTAC, and a Magpul MS1(original, pre-release sling).

I REALLY like the VCAS(as you can tell) with the acetal hardware. I really dislike the VTAC, mostly in the way it adjusts. I have mine on my bolt gun so its not a big deal as it doesnt get adjusted much so I havent swapped for a VCAS. I think(dont quote me) the VTAC is longer than the VCAS and thats why I got it for my bolt gun since the QD sockets are pretty far apart vs. an AR15.

I got the Magpul MS1 when they first came out and single points were all the rage(2008). Ran it for a bit as a single point, racked myself in the nuts to much, choked myself to many times, now I run it as a 2 point and its ok, but will most likely get replaced, but its on an AR that is a loaner most of the time so it serves its purpose.

 

[HD1911]

I'm a fan of the BlueForceGear VCAS Slings.

Padded Vickers combat applications gets my vote.

Hard to beat value wise,simplicity. Have 3 of em.

 

[mkollman74]

Magpul MS1...

 

[hewlett260]

For just a two-point, the Vickers sling.

If you want the ability to go from two to one-point, MS3.

Another one to look at is the Ares Armor sling. A lot of the guys here at Camp Pendleton use and rave about them. I've tried my buddies a few times and it worked well.

I still like the Vickers that we get issued better. I can hasty sling it for longer shots or losen it for ease of maneuver when doing CQT. Also quick and controlled when doing transitions and doesn't really flop around while carrying casualties.

 

[JFK52]

Blue Force Gear padded VCAS sling with quick detach hardware is my sling of choice.

 

[binnerscot]

I really like the Magpul MS4

 

[Kamkaze]

Vtac padded with the vtac 2 to 1 adapter makes it similar to the MS4 but I just like the Vtac better.

 

[DavidAR10]

Of course non-padded, it's a carbine.

 

[Redmanss]

Vickers all the way.

 

[redneckbmxer24]

I've had just about all of them and the padded VCAS and VTAC are the best. I personally prefer the VCAS as its a little thicker and doesn't twist up like the VTAC. With the VTAC I have to untwist the sling every time I put it on. The metal quick adjust buckle on the VTAC does work a little better than the one on the VCAS however but the slider on the VCAS still works very well. I use both and you certainly can't go wrong with either but I do prefer the padded VCAS the best.

 

[Bevan]

Are you guys using these as shooting slings or just carry? Is there a popular shooting sling for an AR carbine that is also well functional for carry?

 

[redneckbmxer24]

I use mine for both. Either of the ones I listed are ideal for carry and shooting.

can't watch it atmo, so can the VCAS be used as a shooting sling or not

 

[DavidAR10]

Yes, these VCASs are the ones you're looking for.

Best to you.



AND!!! for post 336, a picture stolen off the interwebs (too lazy to take pics of my two pre-safety xfer bar), a 336C in 35 REM:

 

[Bevan]

I watched the video and it doesn't discuss using the VCAS as a shooting sling at all.

 

[Bevan]

Do you use it as a hasty sling or some other method?

 

[Newtrick]

VTAC and T.A.B.

 

[rgrmike]

VTAC for sure.

Do you YOUTUBE, MF?

If you want this wonderful but noisy and pterodactyl sling, get one:

It's 2014, and the OP asked for an AR CARBINE sling.

Only other advice I have is start taking classes from respected Carbine Class Instructors and see what they and advanced students are using.

Best to you.
