    Re: sling

    I have a VCAS and I can't for the life of me get it to sit high enough on my chest. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Right now it is currently attached to the QD socket closest to the receiver and at the rear on a QD socket on the stock. No matter how tight I make it, it still hangs down to far.

    my previous rifle had this: VCAS, ASAP plate, Daniel Defense QD mount. I cannibalized an MS2 hook mount for the rear portion. It felt like it sat just right. My Mod1 has a padded VCAS with QD rings at both ends. Im using the stock QD cup and the furthest inboard rail cup. I chopped abour 3in off the sling st the back end and ran the tri glide all the way up to the padding. Ive played with a few different small configurations and will be running my first carbine match in two weeks. I am NOT any type of SME or expert and have learned as I have played some amounts of trial and error.

    I have both the Ares Armor Huskey sling and the BFG VCAS padded. I like both equally and have them on different carbines.

    I've never ran an MS3, but some of the guys on my department run them and love them.

    Whatever you pick, stick with the two point. Avoid the old three point at all costs and I wouldn't run a single point either as I am rather fond of my kneecaps.

    Thanks for your replies.. The reason i asked was becouse i have never really used a sling. The search button does have a lot of slings, but i was wondering what everyone likes, that works.

    I will look into the VTAC AND VCAS, I thought everyone would say Vickers single point. This is why this doesnt degrade this site. I was looking for honest answers, not advertisements. If we cant ask stuff like this here? Then why have all the experience that we have here?

    Thanks for your help, I will start looking onto the slings that you have recomended. I just wish the magpul moe had a QD socket like the ctr stock.

    Vickers single point? I'm under the impression LAV dislikes them.

    Check out post #10 in this one: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=33370

    As mentioned, there is a ton of information already here. The search to find the above three threads took seconds.

    IMO, ever since the "AR craze" we are seeing less posts about people's real-world relevant experiences with the AR, and more gear-related "what-should-I-buy" questions which 99% have been covered before, multiple times. Again, IMO, that's not where the value lies in this site.

    No offense meant—there's a lot of information to sift through and it can be daunting to know where to start. Just offering some advice (which I'm sure has been given to me before by m4c posters) that will help keep this site as the valuable resource it is: read more, post less.

    There is this item:

    http://www.impactweaponscomponents.c...-mount-n-slot/

    Works like a champ and easy to install. I've used them on both my MOE stock and the issue stock at work until they made me convert to a three point gayness.

    Another sling option I've used and like which you might consider is the Spec Ops Brand Master Blaster. It's a two point style that's built pretty well. Not sure which color you want, but Larue has them in black with the QD points sewn in already.

    This, out of every sling I've used the VCAS is the most versatile. It makes me hate the 3 point slings we use at work with a passion...3 point slings have no business on any AR-15 platform.

    I just went from an ms2 to a vtac and love it. I hear you on the 3 point slings. In 2002 we got them and thought they were cool. They lost their luster during our deployment work up in both urban and mountain warfare training we all realized there short comings. I had a SAW so I was good
