That's bitchin! I can't wait

| I never understood the need for some over priced high speed sling. When I served the good old USGI black sling did the job just fine. I know guys that served in Nam and they used to break the swivels right off the rifle, no sling at all. I can see the convince of the one point and the retention aspects but it's just another way to spend more than you need to. I just recently took an extra USGI sling, H&K hook and a QD snap I had laying around and made a custom fit one point set up in about a half hour. I can carry the weapon single point than pinch the QD clip if need be disconnecting the weapon from the main portion of the sling in a second. It's a little crude but sturdy and gets the job done. Magpul makes top notch products God knows I own enough of em so this is in no way a knock on them just an observation. |

I've never served or done any police work. I do some two gun and informal Ar15 shoots. Sometimes we may run a hundred yards or drag a full weight dummy while carrying our rifle . In the next stage you may have to shoot weak hand transition shoot transition. I had a two point Vickers sling and it worked well but didn't go single point. I bought a adapter that would make it a single point and back to a two point . I've had my chest pushing so hard on the sling I swear its going to break.
The hardware is the weak point in the current products. Hopefully the new sling takes care of that. |

From my brief exposure it is a vast improvement on the MS2. The webbing is wider and the alligator style clips allow for a rapid transition from singlepoint to double point. I look forward to owning one. Same here, i currently have an MS2 on my AR and I find is a very good system, but it lacks that single point/ double point capability, which is increasdes its versatility; will look for it when if comes out. Thanks OP.

| Combat Tactical has them on "preorder." Here is the link MS3 Sling |

I was told at range day by Magpul people that black are in production now... available in the next few months... Dark Earth color to follow a few months later... other colors have not been green lighted (yet?)
ETA: They are very nice... Much better than the MS2 in all respects. |
| How well is this thing going to function with the RSA/MSA? Right now I'm running an MS2 with the MSA on the LHS as far back as possible on the MOE handguard. The claw can't swivel around the MSA in a 180 degree fashion very easily. Will this issue be tackled with the MS3? I can post a video/pictures if I'm not making this very clear. |
