My google must be broken. I can't find any info on a padded MS4 Yeah, I wasn't aware of a specific padded MS4 either. I have the padded MS1, and correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you make just about any of the Magpul slings by mixing/matching their wide array of sling attachments and options? Yes, you can spend a bundle of money in the end, but you can come up with the sling(s) you want for just about every conceivable situation. I've gone this route by finding a couple of unpadded gen II MS1's that were on sale for $20 just to give more options, but I had to spend near MSRP for the padded MS1 which has been my go-to sling. And Magpul hardware allows you to equip every gun so that you can use just one high dollar optioned sling if you so desire. Pop the sling on and off in seconds and move on. I also like VTACS, BF, and Vickers slings too, but I haven't found a better, less cluttered sling quick adjuster than the slim, unobtrusive Magpul item. Overall the Magpul seems to provide the most modularity in sling setup you can get. This isn't that important to some, so other candidates exist for those purposes. |

Good buy but that is the older version. |

Maybe it's not a bad buy if you can buy the pad and ms4 hardware to make a padded ms4. But I can't find where to by the pad or hardware on magpuls site Quoted:

| Yeah, the quick-adjust slide buckle on the newer generation Magpul slings are amazing, and it's what really makes them shine IMO. On the padded part of the sling, this isn't an add-on. In fact that's one of the better benefits of the MS1 padded sling. It is a very effective comfort design without that big, bulky, profile you get with some padded slings. I've seen some add-on sling pads, and they seem to invariably slip around on the base sling. |
