According to BFG they are aware of a pretty serious counterfeiting problem. If you want a Vickers sling right now, make sure you can touch it before you buy it, unless you really trust the vendor.

not very impressed with mine. padding sucks. it doesn't even fill out the entire area for the padding. slides around and easily gets mangled. cuts into your neck even if you have some sort of barrier for your neck. The quick adjust isn't very quick, and tightening it requires extra effort or a second hand to be quick. Its thick, heavy; the buckles are thick and heavy also. 2 other folks in my gun club have them and have the same complaints. Also, unrelated to the belt, but BFG is really big into cop culture. fuck that.

The Viking Tactics is another good option for a quick-adjust. About the same price as the BFG and with the same pad/no-pad option, but with a spring-loaded cam adjuster like Ferro Concepts' Slingster. I believe both Ferro and V-Tac offer a choice of either low-cost plastic triglides (what I've always chosen) or steel versions for a few bucks more. For me, it's V-Tac or Ferro for certain, they've held up well for me. Thanks, Hop.

​@@Dirtkid98505 Yes, it is my favorite rifle. They are not for everyone, but the biggest gripes most people have about them are the weight, the long length of pull for the factory stocks, and a fairly heavy trigger (around 10 lbs or so). The magazines for the G3/PTR 91 are still very affordable, and plentiful. The Spuhr stock takes care of the length of pull issue, although it is not the most comfortable stock to shoot irons with (you'll have to remove the cheek riser to do this), and with a shorter length of pull, the weapon "feels" lighter than it really is. I have not tried it yet, but there is a new HK SP5/PTR/G3 trigger group made by a company called "Shooting Star" that sounds very promising. I think the trigger pull is supposed to be less than 5 lbs. This same company has made triggers for IWI Tavors and ARs as well. If you end up getting one, try to get one with a welded rail on it already, and if possible, see if you can inspect the rail in person to make sure it's square just in case. Spuhr does make an excellent "screw on" rail for G3s and PTRs that do not have a rail welded on already, and this is the rail that the Portuguese Navy went with, but ideally a welded on picatinny rail is best. Hopefully Hop will do an update soon on his PTR with the changes he has made to it--he should have some good data points to share.

I've got an older BFG Vickers Sling. Best sling I've got. *PERIOD.* IDK about the ones hitting the market today, but if they're not up to par, the Magpul MS4 works in the exact same way the Vickers does. You simply need to poke a hole in the plastic tri glide and thread a piece of 550 cord through it so that you have something to grab on to when you need to slack the sling. It's an easy modification to do, no big deal. The Magpul MS4 is built like a goddamn tank, btw. I don't forsee this thing failing at any time in the future.

@@moss8702 Good for you. No one was injured and no weapon was damaged in the incidents you saw. It can happen, it does happen. Your sling needs to break away before it injures you or damages the rifle. Either way, the sling in question is no less structurally sound than older models. A different look, different hardware or different textile does not equate to lower quality. Short of proper destructive testing, all the whining is nothing but noise.

To be honest, I never saw the point in spending more than 15 bucks for a sling. In active duty, we had the simplest two point slings. They just worked. Got a 3 point sling once when an armoror buddy got a few of them in. The one I got broke. Still not sure if I just didn't use it right. But I wasn't crazy about it when it was working anyway. Surprisingly, the two quick adjust 2 point slings I bought off Amazon actually seemed a little better in quality than what I was issued in active duty and they were significantly cheaper than the stuff advertised by Magpul, Blue Force, etc. Bottom line is that you don't need an ultra comfortable/expensive sling. It is just a strap to hang your rifle. It's not like you are using it to hold a guitar to play a multi hour set. You probably aren't even going to ever ruck or March with it. I would rather put the extra money to more ammo.

You are absolutely right, it does have 5 tri-glides. It seems like a lot at first, but they have extras on there for extra slack maintenance. I'm a smaller guy so I took off 2 of the tri-glides as they were unnecessary. I only have one on the front, one in the middle and one on the back. It's pretty simple really. I had to cut off the extra slack and burn the ends. It's nice the sling offers so much adjustment.

It’s spring 2024 and I notice a difference in the webbing. I’ve had a gen 2 BFG Vickers non-padded sling for several years in coyote brown. Recently I ordered two new ones, direct from BFG, in ranger green. These are the gen 3 as described (flag stripes are outlined instead of solid bars). I can feel a distinct difference in the rigidity and flexibility of the webbing. The gen 3 bends easier and is less stiff. I have not used the new ones yet to see if this makes any difference in the field when shooting or carrying a rifle.

At this point, I don't trust anything I don't stress test, even made in the USA from well respected brands. I bought a Magpul MS4 last week and new out of the package, one of the QD swivel wouldn't stay in when force was applied, pulling the rifle up by the sling was enough to cause it to pop out out of the cup. Thought it was just the QD cup on my rifle going bad at first until I did a swap test. Found out the tolerance on one of the QD swivel on the sling was just loose enough that it didn't like a locking QD cup. The other (good) QD on the sling didn't care whether 360 or locking cup, stayed put even with me pulling on it with force to try to get it pop out. Fortunately the QD with the loose tolerance is the one that's removeable from the sling and not the one that's sewn in place.

I run V-Tac on all my rifles. From hunting to ARs and have had nothing but positive results and experiences.

I had one and ended up selling it to buy an ESD sling. One of the best decisions I made

+1 for ESD. It’s a Ferro without the heavy scratchy metal adjuster.

I've got 2 Gen 2 slings. One padded and one not. The padded one, to me, is a lot better comfort wise and functionally

Haha It's the density of the stitching, I noticed this last time I looked at one a few weeks ago. Same result!!

Got the BFG sling cause it was the recommended sling de jour. hated it, too bulky and the webbing is too coarse. Tried sierratac, liked the webbing but didnt like their adjuster. trying the magpul now and i like it ok but probably going to try the ferro or trex next.

They are great slings. One could go minimalist and just use a length of paracord knotted at each end. Solved.
