Don't get us wrong, Magpul makes some awesome AR-15 slings...but figuring out the MS1 vs. MS3 vs. MS4 sling or what acronym means 1-point vs. 2-point sling capability can be challenging. Today, we break it down "Barney-style" in the last Magpul Sling Guide you'll ever need! (Until they make new ones, of course.)

The best stabilizing of your rifle with a sling, is what I learned in the military while in basic training. Just wrap it around your forearm and it fits snug and tight. That's how I've trained my Daughter and Grand Children to stabilize their rifle's.

I really like most of the accessories in Magpuls lineup. I have the MS3 gen2(paraclip),which does have rock solid attachment,I most often run 2 point,but having the ability to switch doesn't hurt. To help keep rattle to a minimum,I've used elastic tubular nylon or a piece of bicycle tube over the paraclip where it snaps on the ASAP plate. I also have a D ring at the buttplate end of my buttstock. A couple years ago they released the MOE K2-XL grip & since most people hate the A2 grip,I put them on all my AR's & my RPR,they're about 20% bigger than standard grips & it doesn't feel like I'm trying to control my rifle w/a toothbrush handle. Admittedly I do use the BCM MOD3 stubby vert grip on my handguard,& that's pretty awesome too.

I have a box full of slings, some i paid way to much for and hated every single one of them. The only thing i didn't like on the magpul was the quick slide adjustment. It sucks, but i fixed that by drilling a hole through the slide and using 550 cord and some heat shrink and now I can make adjustments with ease. After that little diy mod they are now my favorite sling and have them on all my rifles and pistol carbines.

@@stevenfriedman2902 Personally, I like the Maclean Sling. But if you are new, I would go with the Magpul or Vickers slings. It all depends on how you are going to carry your rifle and how you will employ your rifle. Slings on rifles are like holsters for pistols. Lots of options, and each sling you get has pros and cons. You have to determine what you are willing to sacrifice in terms of ease of use, durability etc. Hope this helps. Also “Thinline Defense has a good review on the Maclean sling.

It’s no more versatile than the ms3 paraclip sling. That is, if you already have qd swivels and qd attachments. But they all work the same regardless

@cheifDeisel 4 ай бұрын

I've abandoned all QD attachments on the grounds that they're just too loud. I've instead been making scaled down off-road style soft shackles out of paracord. They're cheap, quiet, easy to manipulate, take up almost zero mounting real estate and can withstand more force than you could ever put on your rifle.

@Heywoodthepeckerwood Жыл бұрын

I’ve had a QD swivel pop loose on me once during a training class. Something mad it’s way into the QD cup and when I connected the sling, gave a slight pull then dropped the rifle on my back. It fell right to the ground. Noice. I use clips now. I make my own attachment points using wire cable with a couple layers of shrink tubing over it.m

Absolutely! I think the main "turn-off" for some about the MS1 are the standard webbing loops and sling swivels you'll use to attach it to your shooter. If you're not planning on taking it off/on a whole lot, the MS1 is decent cost and as quality as the rest of the line-up.

It's actually the same length as the rest of them (adjustable between roughly 48" to 60"). For what it's worth, we run the MS4 on our 8.1" .300bo pistol. As a guy who's built with a "powerful" smaller frame 🤣 ... versus our 6'4" lanky warehouse manager, we both are fully capable of manipulating between those lengths without issue. Hope that helps!

What material are the slings made of? I'm assuming, some kind of plastic, or some other petroleum product. I prefer cotton. It feels good to the skin, and it doesn't BURN. Plastic not only burns on its own (once started), but also melts onto your skin & clothing, while continuing to burn. Yes, I know; cotton rots & holds moisture. But that won't burn your skin off. Hopefully, your slings have a flame retardant and/or melting retardant treatment.

Don’t buy it! Just bought an MS4 GEN2 QD. Opened it and the single point adapter accepts the Qd on one side but not on the other side (would not go all the way in) Store won’t allow a refund or exchange because it was opened and does not work. So Magpul will give me a return authorization and I can mail it back and then wait for processing and a return to me ( which it shows out of stock on the website) So that could take a while. I would have expected Magpul to just apologize and send the small piece I need, but instead they want me to go through this hassle for what to them is probably a $5 part. Being as I need this for training right away, I can’t wait on it so was forced to go and spend another $25 for the piece I need to actually use this $70 sling. Of course things happen, nothing is perfect all the time, but it’s how you handle it for a paying customer that will tell you all you need to know about a company. Lesson learned, I know what to expect from Magpul and won’t do it again.
