I haven't seen much on this new sling, I think its release my have been eclipsed by the Magpul bipod.  Anyhow, I came across it while looking for a simple loop sling for my hunting rifle.

The sling is made from the same webbing as the other Magpul slings.  The material is great for the application.  It is smooth enough that it doesn't get snagged while looping in, but has enough grip that it doesn't slip once on.

The buckles are polymer but built thick enough that I'm not worried about them breaking.  The keeper is really cool.  It slides just easily enough and doesn't loosen while worn.

I'm using Uncle Mike's sling swivels, but any 1 1/4" sling mount wil work.  I added a half turn in the sling so it can be looped into more quickly.

All in all Magpul nailed this product.  It works well as a carry strap and as a shooting sling.  This definitely won a spot on my hunting rifle this season.

Looks good. Thanks for the review!

Bringing back an old thread because I couldn't find any more info on here..

Anyone have this on their AR?
I'm leaning towards putting QDs on this instead of a blue force or ferro sling due to its simple design and loop feature. Going on a basic fighting rifle.

Where are your QD mounts on your rifle, and how do you intend on using the sling?

Modern sling use on ARs is typically a 2 point sling mounted on the side of the rifle and used for weapon retention and not for support.  This arrangement works well for a muzzle-down across the chest carry and low ready.

The RLS really shines as a more traditional support sling or for shoulder carry.  If you mounted it to the side of your rifle with QD mounts I don't think the loop sling would work correctly for support.  It's lack of quick adjust length would limit its usefulness as a 2 point sling for across the chest carry as well.

Go MS1 for AR-15 with qd. Thank me later.
