Can any one recommend a good sling for a heavy ak? I was gonna use one for my psl carbine. I already got a ambi mounting plate.
if you want a 2 point, get the vtac wide padded, thank me later
some may like this idea, some may not, I'm currently trying to decide for myself as i haven't used it extensively yet. On my AR i am currently using a vikings tactics bungee 2 point sling.
i like the option of switching like my chad roland does, but i hate the magpul ms3/ms4 slings because they aren't as quick adjustable as the VTAC style. So i recently added a magpul ms4 adapter to the rear part of the vtac bungee sling.
When i run 2 point, I attach the QD side of the ms4 adapter into the back plate QD slot, and the QD stud into a slot up on the rail, a lot of newer rails are coming with built in QD slots, or you can get something like a magpul RSA.
When i want to do tactical backflips, ill attach the QD stud from the fore of the rifle into the MS4 adapter in the back and i have a single point bungee that is also adjustable on the fly.
Im in agreement that a 2 point is usually the best bet, however i was glad as hell to have the single point option a few weeks ago while shooting a vtac 9 hole drill, and when doing shoulder to shoulder transitions a single point is better imo.
Whatever you get use it, and use it while you are under stress, all the adjustable straps and quick disconnect conversion shit is cool as hell, and it works great, but you need to use it a
****lot in order to get the muscle memory required to employ it without getting knotted up in nylon at the least desirable moment. Glen (GPP) was telling me at the last shoot that he used to just tie his rifle onto a carabiner with some paracord and clip it to his PC, that may not be wicked cool when your looking in the bedroom mirror all kitted up, but it worked for him in some high stress situations, so i consider it an option worth investigating along with your standard single or 2 point connected sling that has worked for ages.
