@@systaltic863 you’re right. It’s fucking custom.

Where do you recommend to start sewing?

@@burtbiggum499 Start by watching some KZfaq videos on how to sew by hand. Then if you don't want to spend a lot of money, I found a $300 Singer sewing machine with nothing wrong with it at the Goodwill store for $12. I bought a cheap quick adjust sling off of Amazon that has VERY good webbing (the "brand" was "DMAIP"), very soft but strong material, but it has terrible QD's on it, so I had to use a razor blade to cut the stitching out so I could replace the QD on one end of it with some decent BCM one's, and then used my sewing machine to put the same stitch pattern back into it. Works great and I saved a lot of money. The sling I got is made with really good material, but the QD's were unusable. Still worth the buy, if you're able to replace and restitch the QD's.

My first project was a dopp kit(travel case) from Klum House. I used a very entry level sewing machine and followed the pattern instructions. I made mistakes and learned so much from just an entry level project. Small achievable goals is the key to sewing. I got discouraged with a larger project and had to step back and remember my skill level. Go to a local store and ask simple questions too, crusty old ladies love a man who wants to sew.

same.. that's Why I bought a $30 "airsoft" plate carrier.. it's made with 600 dinier nylon.. So I just beefed up the seems and now it's awesome. It has all the same "features" of the good velcro attach carriers.. I love it. sewing, and having a good machine changes everything.

@@burtbiggum499 There is a great hand crank sewing machine on ebay.. just search "chinese cobbler sewing machine"---- that thing works great for sewing thick and heavy stuff, and leather... Otherwise, almost any sewing machine that works will do fine for thin stuff.

"Cool Jazz" is the official name given by the designer of the pattern.

@@InvidiousIgnoramus I thought it was solo jazz, have I been saying it wrong this whole time

If you don't have an Ahegaocam sling from Moka's Raifus are you even living your best life ?

@@acemace3618 Solo is the cupmaking company, it's not incorrect just another name.

I swear so many other people give half the info in videos twice as long. Hop is a magician.

He talks a hundred miles an hour that is why yet somehow manages to enunciate properly every word so you can still understand him. He could make a fortune as one of those ad voice over guys that have to talk really fast but unlike Hop you barely understand a word they say.

@@deanfirnatine7814 yes I can picture the sarcastic TV ad version of Hop. “Limited time only not available in all locations terms subject to change without notice if you buy this level of product you probably still suck your thumb misuse of this product is a violation of federal law you’ll probably blow yourself up with it long before the feds get to you …”

Hes a godsend to people with ADHD haha

haha glad im not the only one who noticed!

The poverty pony doesn't disappoint.

Hi Mabsy

@@Hoplopfheil hey babe. 😍

Stop harassing him

Best way to get a cheap quality sling is to buy a used laptop bag. I've probably got ten laptop bags in my closet I bought just for the straps. Thankfully, they're useful little buggers. Got a sub2000 packed away in one.

So I'm not the only one!

So glad to hear I'm not crazy and others have figured this out too. It's an inexpensive way to get a high quality nylon strap and the buckles are usually pretty good too. Sometimes you can even luck out and find metal swivels and hooks.

My first sling on a non-issued rifle was literally from my laptop bag lol, worked just fine

I was hoping he was going to review the WPS sling.

Looks like it funds a fascist. No thanks.

SOE Special Operations Equipment. Best sling, Made in USA, Lifetime guarantee. I bought mine used and love it. Not china made shit!

@@whoees3953 wtf lol

How's your knees old man

@@Token_Black_Guy not knees, the hips.. my knees are better than 80% of the troopers my generation. Sucks to be old.

If I get the ms1 I don’t get how it connects to my rifle? Do you have to buy the connectors that go on sling and then where it goes into rifle?

@@Kgoutdoor Depends on what your rifle has attachment point wise. Most stocks have a QD (Quick detatch) socket, basically a hole that a QD sling connector fits into. You can buy the QD sling swivel on their own and add them to a sling, or you can buy slings with the QD sling swivels already attached. The Magpul MS1 sling and Blue force gear vickers have options that already have the QD sling swivels attached. You just have to make sure your rifle already has two QD slots, one on the stock and one on the handguard. If you don't have one on the handguard, you need to buy a QD sling adapter that fits into any MLOK rail. Hope that helps!

​@@Kgoutdoor​My magpul is the MS3 (the MS1 that comes with the lockable "squeeze" clips attached). To use it, I installed the "Paraclip Sling Mount" (on the side of my handguards-- about $20), and the "QD paraclip adapter" (on my stock-- $17). But you can always just clip it to your traditional AR swivels, if you want, until you decide how you want to use it. The result is, my sling is quickly & easily adjusted for firing; it's 100% removable in a hurry (a feature I really love at the range or anytime I'm doing AR maintenance); and it's easily convertible to single point, as Hop said, although I have yet to find a real need for that-- But options are always nice. Think I bought mine for about $50. And combined with the quality, adaptability, and ease of use makes it an excellent buy, imo-- No I don't work for Magpul lol. I do recommend a channel called "Regular Guy Training" where he did a review on this exact sling after years of using it as a soldier, frequently under combat conditions. What really sold me is he still uses this sling to date. Good luck-- just don't settle for something you don't want

I'm still on the ms3 train.

A jerry rigged MS1 was a better AUG sling than the actual AUG sling

@@calholli I actually like the MS3.

@@toynazi Yeah.. I have like 8 of them on different rifles. lol.. well, the fake ebay clones for $14

@@calholli Woah. I didn't know they had China clones.

I hope so for the price tag.

You have it already?

@@snek9353 i made one friend, it’s a regular sling with a bungee attached. I guess i should have said the concept of a bungee sling? Sort of treated it like “sidecar holster” there, when that’s trex’ name for it

Yeah it seems like an actual unique design too not just a copy of a copy like most others. Maybe quick adjust is the way to go but I’m curious to see how it works. If the qd buckle is secure enough that could be really cool.

Same, got one on the way.

@@obviousgreyman my HHV helmet has a magnetic connect clip and I love it on there. I’m sure it will work just as great on a sling, but we shall see

@@snek9353 hopefully John will come out with different colors

@@Whiskey1553 good to hear.

What sling do you have? I have an STI sling, and mine did that when I first got it. Then I figured out I had it set up wrong. Now it pushes away to loosex, and pulls in to tighten.

@@brianfischer5609 I have a bunch in both directions. Some time over the last year I had seen advice which makes sense to get the kind that tightens outwards so you can use it as a hasty sling for stabilizing aim.

The Proctor slings are my favorite and they don’t typically need attachment hardware. Very, very, light.

a rifle without a mag is like a pistol without a mag.

Sounds like you got suckered

Yeah I’m intrigued by that addition to the sling market. Haven’t checked the price yet..

I don't dislike a single point sling but two point slings have spoiled me. I will say that if I have to just walk around with a rifle I am not a fan of a single point lol. My arms get tired.

A single point requires you keep a hand on the weapon.

@@jluvs2ride yep. And we weren’t not permitted to walk around with rifles slung. Policy was if you can sling over your shoulder you can put it in the patrol car. As for cuffing someone carrying a rifle That never arose.

@@psp1921tsmg ok.

Got an unpadded BFG Vickers Tactical for my Beretta 1301 and love. Time to start phasing out the ESDs lol
