BFG Sling - Remind me about something I should know

[Spiffums]

When you get the sling attached to a rifle, what do you do with the excess webbing? Do you just cut and melt it or is there something else you're supposed to do. Been quite a while since i had a new one.

[HKGuns]

I have cut some and taped some off. Its your sling, do whichever you prefer.

[Alpha-17]

I just tape it all down. Still there if you need it later, and it's out of the way. I've got a couple slings that have been taped for over a decade now, and they work just fine.


Probably should wash 'em though, now that I think about it....

I reroute through the buckles as possible

Same here. I double back on the straps until it's all contained. I try not to cut my slings since I can never decide where to put my sling points; stock, endplate, rear of hand guard, front of hand guard.

I’ve never cut one, I reroute back through the triglides.
