I ran a loop of 550 cord through the rear sling loop to a carabiner attached to the top two rows of MOLLE webbing on my flak.
Knowing what I know now, I would take a Vickers Combat Applications sling in a heartbeat. |

You can not go wrong with the Vickers. I ran one the whole time I was in Iraq.

I use a MI #13 one point sling adapter for the M4 $36, I have a North East Tactical one point that is a few years old, loop sling for generic carry. On my FSBE vest I use a sling that was designed for the MTV/IBA, it should be from shoulder to shoulder then make a V to connect the rifle, but I have it set up like a "wolf hook", it is weaved on the back of my right shoulder then through my right shoulder pad to essentially make a one point conection from the vest to the rifle. I've seen alot of guys just "build thier own", Lowes sells clasps for $5 and 5' of nylon doesn't cost much. The 550 cord route is gheto, but cheap. |

I used the wolf hook for my year in the sand box. I loved it, clipped it off and on depending on what I needed.

I used the BHI 3 point sling for a year in Iraq, I loved it, but when I ever had to carry it unslung, the different straps were everywhere. I also had the Wolf hook attached at the same time, of course I didn't use both at the same time, but the wolf has a QD so I could use either/or. I'm about to order up a Blue Force Gear Vicker's Padded Sling. Simple, single strap design w/padding.

This is what I am running. Roomy two point for Bobin' around (with two mini D-Rings) and 550 with small d ring on plate carrier for missions. |

I have made a few single points and really like mine. I prefer the HK hooks to plastic quick disconnects.
My sewing isnt that great yet and I am having trouble with the machine, but so far that are strong and work well. |
