ASP Sling
Ambidextrous Single Point Sling I would like to express my gratitude to Military Morons for the quality photography!
Retail: $36.50 Your Price: $32.85 I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Ambidextrous Single Point Tactical Sling ( ASP Sling ). After a six month long design, development and testing period, its finally available. You can purchase the sling along with spare weapon attachment stubs directly from my website The sling is 100% made in the USA utilizing mil-spec or better (climb spec) 1" tubular nylon webbing. It comes in an assortment of standard issue colors: Black, Olive Drab, Coyote and Desert Tan (pictured here). It comes packaged with a single weapon attachment stub, the accessory stub so you are up and running immediately. Additional stubs can be purchased to accomodate additional weapons. Please note that use of the sling requires a single point receiver end plate be mounted on your weapon. If you do not have a sling plate you will need to purchase one in order to utilize the ASP Sling. We are now offering our own single point receiver endplates in both dedicated left and right hand models - the SPRE-L & SPRE-R. For those of you equipped with an H&K style sling plate, you will be pleased to know that we have also made available an H&K style stub. The snap hooks used for the H&K stub are procurred directly from the manufacturer and are of the highest quality. Don't be fooled by the cheap knockoffs. The fit and finish are top notch. The ASP sling comes with a lifetime replacement warranty. If for any reason your sling should fail to perform when used as intended, we will immediately replace your item, no questions asked. We just ask that you don't use it as a tow strap Reviews! Satisfied customers who purchased the ASP Sling started a local review thread here. Feel free to read the reviews or leave one of your own once you have had the opportunity to evaluate your purchase. Feeback I have my own ar15.com feedback thread now. If you were happy with your transaction, please leave me some feedback in my feedback thread located: here. Payment Methods - ![]() |

EXCELLENT sling....the tubular nylon is silky smooth making transition very quick and so simple to use. Jason has a TOP notch sling and worth the money. He uses high quality materials and I am VERY glad I bought one. The HK hook is top quality as well. OUTSTANDING.

Actually, when configured properly the sling QDP rides vertically above the weapon, not horizontally under the arm. This makes for a lighting fast emergency release should the need arise.
Check the first post for updated pics. |

I have been working on a low cost solution for those wishing to utilize the ASP sling who do not have a single point receiver end plate and/or are not allowed to make gunsmith modification to their issued duty weapon. Pictured is a prototype telestock stub that will fit both the CAR and M4 style telescoping stocks as well as any tapered non telescoping stock such as a shotgun.
If there is enough interest, I will get some made and added to the lineup. |

I received it lightning fast.
I have to say it looks and feels great. The ability to place my weapon in multiple positions through a smooth transition is an excellent feature. Very comfortable and practical. Excellent product m8! |

Ordered 1 green with snap accessory attachment. Glad to see a start up with such a nice product line.
ARin - I think it is pretty classy comming over and giving JT an endorsement. While you could have viewed him a competitor and run his name through the mud, you didn't. ARin = +1 Not that my views mean a whole lot, but I will post my review when I get my package. Happy to be order #15! |

No, ill tell you what is classy...When i was looking for a supplier for HK snaps, Mr. JTrusty approached me and offered the information for the supplier that he was using. Not only that, but when Jason first developed the sling, he came to the EE and noticed that i had just posted mine for sale. Not wanting to undermine my new product, he waited a while to release his.
We have talked on the phone, brainstormed design ideas..and even exchanged slings to review eachother's work. He is an excellent guy...and we both appreciate eachother for the insight we can share with one another. Not a competitive bone in either of our bodies. We know that the collective arfcom tribe has more than enough business to go around. I also find it a very interesting study in capitalism...as you notice the two different ways that he and I manage our little businesses. Mr JTrusty has tabs on everything that is ordered from his site, with an automated ordering system in place, and a very professional website... and shipment is always same day...I on the otherhand, usually have NO clue what is going on...in fact, i just got an email from a customer in Guam, letting me know that he just recieved a SECOND package of two slings...for a total of 4...but he only ordered 2. ![]() |

I've got an unmodified M4 at work and I'm interested in an OD or black sling and the telestock stub. Do you have any of the tele stubs yet? |

longboat, ilike9s, & M590man: Your orders all shipped out today. You should see them by the weekend. Thank you for your orders!
brushdog: The CAR/M4 Telestock stubs are prototype at this stage. I was waiting to see if there was enough interest before I went ahead with manufacturing. You are the second person to show interest today. I will extend the same offer to you as I did him. I am having a small run of these made currently, as soon as they arrive I will shoot one your way free of charge. Just be sure to report back with feedback. Once we have determined its suitability, I will add them to the current product line. ARin: I sincerely appreciate your endorsement of both my product and my character. As you already know first hand, starting a project like this is no easy task. It requires extreme sacrifices of time, energy and money. However, to be able to offer a quality product to a great group of people is reward in and of itself. |
