Magpul MS3. Convertible from single point to 2 point. Easy to adjust.
I personally use one-point slings that have a little bungee in the backstrap. Just easier for me and my shoulders and easier to dismount the weapon by unclipping versus lifting the weapon above and around my head.reveille23 said:
new to the AR world. First build is complete, shoots great at the range and now I'm excited to take it into the field this is a hunting rig, for running after hogs mostly, possibly yotes.
But I need suggestion for a sling. Not sure whether to go with a one point style or a more conventional hunting carry strap. What does the OB suggest?
This. One points are pretty miserable if you do any climbing/bending or need to stow the rifle. I can't stand having a dangling rifle or one that won't stay putBenderRodriguez said:
Vickers 2 point is my go to sling, have a couple of them....one QD, one regular. Good quality, adjustable....everything you need, nothing you don't.
I really hate one point slings.

Primary Arms is advertising a post-tax day sale for an AR-15 stripped Lower from Anderson manufacturing for 34.99 today.
That's dirt cheap.
Simply a size difference. Great units for the price. Sparc is their small unit and the Strikefire is the fullsize. Only thing I don't like about the vortex units is the view is occluded outside of the scope. The controls stick out a lot and annoy me. Otherwise, great optics.HvilleAggie said:
which one is preferred? or, what are the major differences?
This is a video narrated by Larry Vickers (guy who "invented" the Vickers sling) explaining the different rear attachment points. IIRC, he has another where he talks about the front points. The technique he goes over in the video is the same one he teaches in his classes and works well.reveille23 said:
After looking around some last night I really like that Vickers sling you suggested.
Why the vast difference in attachment location on both weapons? Does one work better than the other, or are they set-up for specific roles? I've got a full length M-lock on my handgaurd so can attach a QD mount at any portion, guess I can move it around and see what suites me best

PSA doing 3 stripped lowers and a 9mm shield for 324.99 after the 75 dollar rebate on shields
For sure, Larue/BCM/Dan Defense/Colt seem to be holding their value... but even Larue sold a crap ton of cheaper triggers last week.DatTallArchitect said:
On the lower end it definitely is. However, it seems to be almost the polar opposite on the higher end AR products.
Same here, although I may drive down to Primary Arms and pick up a few for $35/ea.CharlieBrown17 said:
Yeah I'm really waiting for a multi stripped lower sale like that. Be nice to have a few to leave in the back of the safe.

There really is no difference in lower other than brand/name recognition/stamping.
