Looking for Some Help With Slings Please

[TommoThomson]

I'm looking for a single point long for my Krytac PDW, which has a normal stock fitted. 

 

Also one for my L85 and L86, I've already got a genuine L85 sling but I find it cuts into my neck. 

 

So I'm thinking of changing it for something else, so if anyone has any suggestions and the links to some good slings can you please let me know. 

 

Cheers in advance.

Wouldn't this problem be resolved if you route your sling through the shoulders of your plate carrier assuming you're wearing one? The weight is distributed evenly across your shoulders this way. You can save yourself some money this way.

Just a suggestion👍

Unfortunately not, as the genuine military L85 sling is a two point sling. However it has a clip that let's you have it either close to your body or undone gives you more range of movement. So because of the range of movement I don't think that would work. 

 

For the M4 it would, but I need to find a nice sling to use first 😁

What is this style of sling called mate?

What's your budget?

 

Two point, I'd suggest either the Ferro Slingster or the T-Rex one, for a single point you can't really go wrong with a Magpul MS3 or MS4 (depending on your preferred attachment points) both of which can also double up as a 2 point.

Alternatively you could get a sling catch:

That's the Madbul Strike Systems licenced one, but FMA also do them in both plastic and metal versions.

It's a standard single-point bungee style with shoulder clasps designed for routing.

When you say it’s cutting in to your neck are you using it like A or B ? The L85 sling was designed to be used like A Left shoulder to Right arm pit/side so ‘shouldn’t’ cut in to your neck .

I'm using it as in A, I only just fitted it back to my L85 as it had to be rebuilt as it wasn't well 🤣

 

The genuine sling is a double point fitted sling, which you can undo the clip and turn it into a sort of single point. I think something like the sling catch Lozart mentioned could be the answer though.

You can get a Slingster rep from Ali for £16 delivered and they are perfect.

I have swapped out my real Magpul MS3 for one and prefer it in every way.

Fair enough, I have two legit Ferro slings - a Slingster that's on my SCAR and one of their old plate carrier single points that they don't make anymore. Linky for the knock off would be nice though...

[TommoThomson]

Yeah definitely would be handy to see a link for the knock one please Groot
