Good evening,

So for a number of years I have owned a multicam BF vickers combat application sling, width 1.25 inches. It's been great.

Over Thanksgiving, I ordered from Primary Arms, an OD green BF Vickers combat application sling, width 1.25 (as indicated on the PA website).

When I took the OD sling out of the package, I noticed something wasn't right versus the multicam sling. It would appear that the OD green sling is just an eighth of an inch over 1 inch.

Is there something I am missing? Why would my two year old sling be the correct 1.25 inch in width and the new sling is just a hair over 1 inch.

I guess it doesn't affect usage but anyone have any thoughts?

Pics...

Yup price goes up and the product gets smaller hoping no one will notice.

Measure a 2x4. Just kidding. Now you've got me wondering. I'm going to have to measure all of mine tonight.

I'd recheck the packaging that it came with.
They may have sent you the Vickers One sling, which is supposed to be 1" as opposed to the 1.25" regular ones.

I will check that out! Thanks!

BUT, it looks like they don't make the One sling in OD Green, at least after taking a cursory look at the BF website (and some others)

I see BFG has a sling called the ONE sling. Same as the one we're all used to but its a 1" sling and says its 30% lighter than the 1.25" version. Meant for pistols, light weight builds, etc... Are you sure you didn't order this version perhaps?
