Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Applications Sling - single point mod

**rob_s** · 07-04-09, 09:29

Only had this for dry runs around the house this morning. The snap-hook is from an AK and is not ideal, and the front attachment point could use work. Will give it a workout on Tuesday at drills night.

Clearly inspired by the Magpul MS2, but with a few changes to address issues I have found in my use of the MS2. Primarily the jaws and the width of material, as well as the resistance to adjustment of the MS2.

Set up as two-point

Looks cool... Looking forward to hearing how it shakes out.

You need a front mount that is gold plated, then you could be a pimp!

Looks functional Rob, I wouldn't be stunned to see a production version at some point.

Unfortunately boaters aren't too fond of tactical black.

I posted this on lightfighter and several others that had come up with their own versions posted as well. Of course, I like mine best.

I think the 2" steel ring I'm using needs to be smaller, but I need to settle on a snaphook that I like first in order to determine how much room I need.

Nice. I use my BFG sling as a SP and 2P with an ASAP. I ended up ordering the BFG H&K hooks, and they work really good.

DSG has a ton of different sling hardware to experiment with.

Looks like it will work well, love DIY. Is the mount on your front sight tower robust enough to mount a light IYO? Sorry to get of course.

It's been working well with a Surefire X300. I just took the light off for the pics.

Rob I was wondering if you ever continued to modify your strap?

Here's what I did. Didn't care for the hardware on the MS2. I bought the attachments from here: http://www.urbanertslings.com/ursiposlla.html
I added a CLOSE QUARTER ADAPTER (C.Q.A.) MASH HOOK (with metal ring), one mash hook, and a female side release buckle to set up the sling.
