I just got it today, i really hesitated ordering a 45 dollar sling. I have to say it is worth the money though. Very quick transition from single point to two point. One handed adjustments. I would have to say its the best sling i have used.

Thats one thing I noticed about mine.

it's thin and puts all of the weight of the rifle on a small spot of your shoulder,

Overall it's pricey with the plate but I doubt you can get a better sling, which is just as all around

just ordered one myself last nite.i'm anxious to see how it feels. i have a blue force gear 3pt. now and have never been happy w/ it from the day i got it.it's not a manufacturer's problem w/quality,....it's just a bad idea in that it shrouds the left side of the receiver for a right handed shooter.hopefully the ms2 performs better.....the ability to quickly change from a single point to a 2pt. appeals to me.

the one thing I do not like about it is the hardware.  I have mine hooked to a YHM  end plate sling mount. I just had it on there for a little while (not even shooting it just walked around with it for 15 minutes) and the paint chiped off to display a gold layer.  Now there is gold flacks everywhere.  I should have waited for the MS3 with hardware updates.  Anybody want to buy an MS2 with the hardward scratch up.

although i guess it would not have happend if I had it ona quick detach ring since the YHM end plate is not rounded

I did not like my sling.  I found the webbing to soft, it would bunch up/twist and stop the slide from adjusting.  I tried it through an instructor school, with lots of mounting and dismounting from the sling.  I think it is a good idea, but just not there yet.

^ common complaints.



Rumor has it that the improved version will be wider and stiffer.

i recently sold mine. like others, i found it too thin and flimsy and the paint on hardware started chipping before i even put it to real use. after trying the ms2, i found that i did not like the 1point config. waiting on a padded vtac 2pt to come in

only thing that stood out w/me is the flimsyness of the material used on the sling. as far as the design,.....i think its designed well.the large clamp type thingy for the forward attachment is funky......not a bad funky, but just a bit more "busy" than it really needs to be. unless the little "wheel" or "cam" loosens up a little w/time it is a two handed chore to transition from 1pt. to 2pt. and vice-versa. not a big complaint,just an observation. a carabiner w/a toggle (used in rock climbing) would be more gun-friendly i would think. a portion of the sling that contacts the operator should have a built up area of material/foam to not only pad the operators shoulder but also to keep the material from bunching up and making it feel more like a length of rope is contacting their shoulder. jmho.

I've had problems with the front hook binding on my qd swivels and a couple times had it release the swivel. I think its too big and awkward

thats why i think they came out w/ the MS3 sling......there were too many issues people had w/ the MS2. 'specially the front sling hook's mechanism. now if they would only go w/ a stiffer form of material,....maybe like a seat-belt kinda material.

ANY OPTIONS WITH OUT USING THE ASAP PLATE I HAVE THE YHM SLING PLATE AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME GOLD FLAKE CHIPPING OFF. I WAS THINKING ABOUT USING A CHAIN LINK THAT SCEWS TOGETHER. YOUR THOUGHTS?

The MS2 comes with a small loop of 550 cord on the rear attachment mechanism.



I removed this from the sling and use it as the rear mounting point on one of these:

Anyone have any issue with reattaching the QD hook?  I ran through a class and I was like a monkey fucking a football trying to get it to reattach with one hand.  Is there a secret handshake I need?
