I've been buying stuff for the last year or two for a 'budget build'. I'm looking to use good parts and just buy at the right time basically.
So I've got all the parts to complete the build except for a sling. I'm looking or a good low cost solution. This will be going on a 16" carbine. It will have a magpul moe handguard and collapsible magpul moe butt stock. What are your sling suggestions? Keep 'budget' build in mind. I will also need a way to attach to rifle if it won't attach to what I've got for furniture. Thanks |

I recently bought one of these

These can also be attached with the infamous paracord to save another buck. I like it a lot, easy to adjust just as advertised. chris |

I use Vtac MK2 quick adjust padded slings. They are less than $40 and work amazingly well.
Very similar to the sling posted above, both are based on the same design. |

You can just use the sling mount slot in the stock and forgo any extra hardware. |

You could always weave your own out of 550 cord.

Blue Force Gear - Factory Outlet Page
I swapped my Magpul MS3 for Blue Force Gear Vickers. I got 2 BFG slings for $22.50 each off this page with free shipping. They are sold out now, but might be worth checking back. |

BlackHawk Machine Gun Sling. Super comfy and adaptable. Only bad part is plastic buckles but they're fairly tough. |

Make your own out of some Paracord, 1&1/4" poly webbing, and some hardware...
