I would like some suggestions for a sling. What works and what would I need?
My AR has a free floating hand guard (Troy VTAC TRX Battle Rail)
My butt stock has the sling mount at the back but I have no other mount.
I don't plan on doing a lot of hiking with it but I wuld like to be able to reload a magazine or walk up to my target without finding a place to set the gun down.

I like the Boonie Packer slings a lot.  I use the 2P Tactical Quick Adjustable on 3 of my guns.  Excellent quality and great price.

What kind of sling do you want? 1, 2, and 3 point slings are available. I suggest going a simple 2 point sling.

I like using the padded Vtac slings and I can convert it to a single point if needed.

The 1-point is good if you don't intend to do much running.

Well,

I use a single point on my personal carbine...it's also highly modified and very basic...no lose straps...etc...

But like I said in another thread...it's personal preference...

Why do you wear briefs vs boxers...

Any sling that help you do the task that weapon is slated for is a good choice...

I say try every sling you can...and you will feel when it's good...

I can run fine with my single point...but I also have a two point sling that's custom for my bipod ar.

I make my own out of paracord cheap strong and can be made how you want it.

I have the Blue Force Gear VCAS and the padded Viking VTAC 2 points.  I feel the BFC VCAS is the better made sling both in quality of materials and design.  Both work well though.  For a front attatchment on your rail try the Impact Weapons Components Mount-N-Slot QD cup, it is excellent.
