I can not find this sling anywhere with the push pins. Can anyone help assist me since I do not know all of the retailers? I did a Google search and I just can't seem to fins the version with the push pin.

Im assuming by push pins you mean QD swivels.
If your looking for the one with them sewn in id recommend you not get that. I have the ones that you can just weave them in, not all QD sockets are non rotational and that gets pretty ****in annoying when your sling twists up. Id rather have some modularity available.

yes, sorry, that is what I meant. Do you know if the swivels can be weaved into the Vickers sling I mentioned? I wonder if the Daniel Defense Carbine's swivel hole will allow the swivel to rotate.

Well the one your talking about has them sewn in and are irremovable.
I get the padded version without, and add my own. Or dont depending.
As for the DD rails, I know the OmegaX rail has limited rotation swivel sockets.

FYI I saw a comment recently from someone saying that their Novekse supplied swivels didn't work in there DD rail. I cant confirm that but Id recommend getting them from DD directly if that's the case.
Maybe someone can chime in on that.

Ill find one of the slings im talking about and edit it in.

Thats a decent price. CTD isn't always the best retailer but in some cases you cant beat their prices.

Here's a link for G&R Tac - great guy to deal with:

They only have the FG one in stock according to the website last I checked.

Op, I've been going back and forth for a couple of weeks whether or not to get the sewn in QD's for my DD. Both have their pros and cons, but I think I am leaning more towards getting the standard and adding my own QD's, turns out to be "about" the same price, and you maintain the modularity going forward, as well as the ability to add things like the IWC triglide if you want.
The thing I like about having it sewn is just the neatness of it, but I think it may be worth the trade off.

This thread discusses the sewn-in versus standard VCAS slings: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=94141

For what it's worth, I find the slings with the sewn-in QD swivels to be much more streamlined, and not as bulky. I have both versions, and I prefer the sewn-in one hands down. But it does boil down to user preference, as one version isn't better than the other.

I'm going to get the standard version without the QD swivels wen in. Reason why I am going this route is because I am going to install Impact Weapons Triglides for a double/single point sling.
My toughest choose right now is what color to get!!!!!!:suicide2:
I always wanted the coyote but everyone has that color. I may go with camo.

I have a padded Vickers sling with the QD sewn in. I like it and have had no problems with it. I use it on my MT6700 with the Magpul/IWC combo. I would like to get another one but I can't find it on the BFG website and maybe it has been discontinued. I am going to get another one, probably without sewn in.
