Does it have the sling loops on the buttstock and FSP? Then Magpul RLS Rifleman sling is pretty solid and only costs like $20

Standard nylon sling is durable, simple and lightweight

Surplus silent sling. 10-12 bucks shipped maybe? You can just buy the clasp and some buckles and some nylon strap (color of your choice) and make a dandy sling for even less.

Something ready to go off the shelf? Proctor slings are bare-bones and good to go.

Thanks for the responses old boys. I went with the Magpul RLS since I trust my life with their products.

Quote HistoryI'm not the OP, but thanks. Now we all now you have a tan sling of unknown make and model on your AR, attached to it (likely) by some unknown contrivance which we cannot see in the photo. Super helpful.

Sorry.
It’s a military issued Vickers sling mounted on the slot in the stock and the side swivel that’s on the barrel. |

Buddy rec'd the sling but I kind of encouraged him to pick up a Magpul MOE SL handguard. Apparently the front sling swivel bracket had to be removed
Anyone know where to grab one of these? Out of stock everywhere https://magpul.com/catalog/product/view/id/6577/s/m-lok-gi-sling-swivel/category/53/

Most of mine have GI web slings on them. Bought a couple of the much more expensive commercial slings with all kinds of stuff added to them. I guess I prefer the simplicity of the GI sling. Oh, the M1/M14 GI slings, not the thing we had on our M16A1's in basic/AIT that was harder to take off and harder to adjust.

Maybe others have their reasons for spending more on a sling, but on several of my builds I have cheaped out with CVLIFE 2-point slings on Amazon. They suit me. I've spent a lot on a few slings for other rifles and these cheap ones work just as well.

Ammo Garand GI style. I like the cotton weave doesn't slide around like nylon and the simplicity of adjustment with the buckle hardware. I use a Magpul Paraclip to attach to the FSB sling swivel and a Magpul QD sling swivel to attach to the stock. The USGI clip that comes with it will work fine with the fixed sling attachment on the M&P stock.

You f-in' dog. Not just three-legged, but one-eyed and missing a chunk out of an ear. The rifle came with a ‘Nam-era brownish-green ‘seatbelt’ sling, but it’s too short for anything more than a shoulder strap. I guess I could run it from the top of the stock to the FSB, but the rifle would hang just under my chin. |
