A NON-'tactical' Sling....

Post by AJMD429 »

.
I only have one like this but it's one of my favorite slings.

What I like about is that it is lightweight nylon, has metal end attachments, and a simple sliding metal adjustment. It also allows the user to take it completely enough apart that you can substitute different types of quick detach ends (some of mine have the recessed 'QD' ones, instead of the ones like this sling fits, and a few have single-point rings, or saddle rings, or whatnot). So many of them have them stitched in place so you're stuck.

It's hard to find a sling like this anymore, they all seem to have extra padded sections or elastic parts or unreplaceable end attachments, or some sort of quick adjust 'tactical' feature that I really don't need on most of my firearms... :|

I do have one that's made entirely of rubber which I keep on my Ruger 77/44 because that gun is essentially rainproof and the rubber sling sheds water and doesn't slip.

My hands down favorite is the old cotton canvas M1/M14 sling. It's 1.25", cheap, quick to adjust, light, quiet, weatherproof, and stays put on the shoulder of a wool coat. There is a nylon version, but it's too slippery.
I have them in khaki and OD green. Great slings.

I think my favorite is a leather version of that sling. In came with my 1972 Winchester 64A. Next up is the canvas one on my 1903A3.
