What happened to the 3 point sling? I haven't seen any for sale anywhere? Nor a front sight/barrel sling swivel?

Yes, I'm old..

Most find the quick adjust 2 point to be better with less clutter, so the 3 point fell out of style

That's it. WAY better, in many ways.

Redi-mag still sells one, of course Redi-mags also seem to be out of style these days.

Absolutely. A 3 point was like trying to put on a wet shirt.

I love a good double entendre.

Spectre gear still sells old timey three point slings https://www.spectergear.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=50

I didn't look but I bet GG&G still sells the front swivel you're looking for.

I probably still have one in a spare parts box.
VTac 2 point is a better option

@Ops

If you're wanting some old school Specter Gear 3-point slings send me an IM... I dumped all mine in favor of the 2-point for reasons already noted.

I could use one, I have a homemade job on a carbine and it isn't doing it.
What can I say? I'm old school.

Where in FL? NE here, Palatka. 22 miles from St Auggie...

Blue Force Gear made a convertible 1- 2- 3-point sling for their contractor pak - the extra 3-point webbing and buckles make it heavy & cumbersome. I got 2 and am about to cut off the extra dead weight.

I still have one on a rifle for old times sake.

I have it rigged up like I did as an Army grunt. You can seamlessly turn it into a 2 point to "chow" sling it across your back since it runs free under the 550 cord on the stock.
