Help me find a convertible sling with HK hooks

I am trying to find a sling like the Magpul MS3 but with snap hooks like these: http://harristacticalonline.com/HK-Style-Snap-Hook-1-Steel-w-coating-in-Black-HK-SH-S.htm

Basically a one/two point convertible. I have seen some with the plastic quick-release buckles, which I do NOT want. I am looking for something as simple as the Magpul. Less points of failure the better.

The closest I could think of was the Magpul MS2, but the hooks were slightly different and not as easy to manipulate.

If I had the equipment and skills, I would simply replace the snap hooks on the MS3 with these hooks and be done with it…

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure why you’re specifically looking for a sling with the HK snap hooks. You mentioned being concerned about points of failure and the HK snap hooks are known to have their spring loaded gates fail. That’s probably the reason why most notable manufacturers (VTAC, BFG, etc) go with QD swivels or other methods of attachment.

If you’re still pretty set on HK snap hooks and want a 2-to-1 convertible option try looking at Emdom’s Gunfighter sling.

It has the ability to mount either HK snap hooks, ITW mash hooks, or QD swivels. I have this sling however I use the ITW mash hooks. They are simpler in design to the HK hooks as they don’t use springs. Either way that’s one of the few options you have as most slings don’t have a metal D-ring to allow for converting to a 1-point sling. Hope that helps.

After having a little issue with MS3 I thought about swapping over to HK hooks. The D shaped piece is too thick for the HK hooks I have for me to clip on there to convert it to a 1 point.

I modified my VCAS sling the following way to make it a 2 to 1. I use HK hooks but you can use any attachment system that you would like.

I’ve been using HK hooks for years and never had one fail or come unsnapped. Use the the nylon covers that slide over the hook.

I have an OSOE 2-1 point bungee sling. Pm me, it’s for sale.

If you’re willing to remove your ms3 connections and sell them to me, name your price and i’ll see what I can do.

I am still in the thinking about it stage. It takes me forever to actually get anything done these days. Also there is the issue with the “ring” that I spoke about.

Thanks guys, I think the Emdom will work so I ordered it!

I listed my old sling and some swivels on GB, if you want them:
