Quoted: First time poster long time reader thinking of getting a new sling i have the option of qd already set up how strong and reliable are they and what brands are preferred? I know they make some that have a flush head on the swivel and they have some slings like the ms4 that have a qd already attached who has experience with this set up that has advice? May also run one and two at times. |

The only decent advice I can offer is to stay away from cheap, off-brand QD swivels and sockets like you find on Flea-bay and Amazon.. I haven't had any problems with my Magpul stuff (attachments or slings), and I give them a fairly good workout. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Geissele has just introduced one that is supposed to be super strong and uses a different internal mechanism. Have not tried it, but you might want to check out any of these three. |

My Blue Force Vickers QD sling is legit. Check them out.

I won't go so far as to say something else like your sling will break first, but you are going to have one helluva time damaging a high quality QD swivel.

Magpul, LMT...whatever you get don't go cheap. Your nice rifle and expensive optics are at stake if they fail.

Magpul MS4 gen 2. Everything you seem to be looking for in one package. I prefer single-point while in use and 2-point slung on my back for climbing and general jumping around, and have had zero issues from the sling getting slide-hammered.

I'm using major brands heavy duty push button QD sling swivels from Blue Force Gear, Colt, Daniel Defense, Damage Industries, Gear Sector, Knight's Armament Co., LMT, Uncle Mikes, Viking Tactics, and Vltor, all works fine without any problems.
