Do you put a black sling on your EBR, or a contrasting color?

I'm going with black, by the way.

Mostly because the only slings I've bought are black.

I have an OD green sling on mine. Looks great.

Get both!

Some are black, some are OD green. Depends on the rifle and what type of sling I put on it, too.

The same color as your work, SHTF, lizard people or zombie clothing. Minimize contrast as much as you can. Of course you're carrying a black colored rifle... but still...

If the sling is simply a truck to range carry strap, then get what's cheap.

I have a green leather Valmet sling on my DD Ambush.

I got a bunch of funky FDE and blurple Kryptek ones from BFG's bogo sale last year I don't know what to do with.

I have an FDE sling and ACOG on my black rifle, looks pretty good.

All my AR slings are VTAC or SOB in coyote brown.

Posted: 12/17/2016 3:29:45 PM EDT

[#17]

Whichever one matches your purse

I prefer to color coordinate.

I have a coyote sling on my black rifle, I like the contrast.

Pink when available. Keeps your buddies from wanting to steal your shit.

It should match your purse and shoes.

"Always bet on black." I heard Wesley Snipes say that once.

almost always black

though I went fancy on my patrol rifle, Kryptek Typhon

Posted: 12/17/2016 3:56:27 PM EDT

FG or grayish

On ARs, I prefer the OD green cotton web sling (i.e. the sling originally intended for the M14). The nylon black sling works, but OD variant is cooler.

Posted: 12/17/2016 4:51:20 PM EDT

Well OD green of course.

Black on black guns, brown on wood guns.

I have three of them and they are all black.

I discovered that rifles seem to shoot with the same accuracy no matter what color they are, so yeah, I still have black rifles....

The question presupposes that I have a rifle and colored slings from which to choose. If that is my greatest concern this evening, am indeed a most fortunate person.

Basic black is rarely wrong, but a nice ox blood colored military styled leather sling on a Garand that has a walnut stock with all sorts of fiddleback grain in the wood, and a deep reddish brown color to the wood really is gorgeous.

I went black, next will be another color to swap out time to time. May as well "get both"

I never really thought about sling colors.

2X DCM guns have black leather Turners.
2X Windhams have tan leather Turners
1X RRA has a tan Magpul gen1 MS3.
1X Bushmaster carbine standard M16 sling in black.
1X PSA carbine black Vickers.
1X Armalite carbine has a black leather Turner.

Sadly they were all lost in a boating accident/fire/tornado/hurricane.

Ha you funny OP.

Now that I think about it, almost all my slings are different colors. Leather, black, tan, coyote, kryptek, OD.
I don't think I have an all-black gun. I don't even like all black handguns.
I LOL at guys who have camo pants/shirts/plate carriers but sport a BLACK rifle.

Posted: 12/18/2016 12:21:32 AM EDT

Black, it goes with everything.
If I'm mixmatching sling/rifle color combos now I have to worry,
do my socks go with this?
What color belt?
Tie, no tie?
Etc.....

Posted: 12/18/2016 12:25:36 AM EDT

Generally black because that's the cheapest BFG sling. With the recent sales I've bought other colors because they are cool.

Posted: 12/18/2016 12:32:49 AM EDT

[#47]

I like either, I got the stealth grey magpul sling for my last rifle. thinking about changing the stock and grip to grey as well.
