I saw a post on this a while back when the magpul dvd first came out, but I cannot locate it and I couldn’t find it through searches. What sling is Costa using in those dvd’s? I really want to pick one up. Thanks guys.
I believe it’s the ‘ASAP’ sling and mount that Magpul revealed on Friday at SHOT show. It’s in the 2009 Magpul catalog, so should be around sooner than later…
ETA: In case you’d like to see it up close, there’s a new clip from TOS on youtube in which Costa breaks down the functions and benefits of the sling and mount.
It’s a HK 3 point sling
Oops, you’re right - there I go sticking my foot in my mouth! Thought that AirmanAtwood was referring to the single-point setup he switched to later on.:o
If you read Mr. Costa’s reply in the dvd post, he said he rigged his sling to be like the ones used by his customer he was working for at that time, which was an HK 3 pt. He reverted back to his typical sling after that. I believe an earlier poster said it correctly that Mr. Costa is using the new Magpul sling, a single point that is convertible to a 2 point quick adjust type. I tried to get a closer inspection of this sling at the Magpul booth but no such luck.
thanks for the replies. I’m think gonna just wait for the ASAP setup to be released.
