    Viking Tactics sling

    Does anyone know if the Viking Tactics sling you can order from Brownell's is any DIFFERENT than the one you would order from Viking Tactics, or any other dealer?

    I guess what I am asking are there different manufacturers, that make the slings to different standards. I definitely want it Made in the U.S.A. if I can get it.

    Thanks,

    Add Larue to your list they also have it for sale. I am betting they are all the same sling except for the quick disconnect Larue offers.

    I got mine from Larue. You get some free Laure goodies also..

    The slings that Brownell's sells are the same slings that you get straight from Viking Tactics and they are the ones made in the USA. You would also be surprised at who manufactures those slings.

    However, there is a quality difference in the ones sold under the 511 Tactical brand.

    I own several VTAC slings and have never had an issue with quality.

    I would be willing to bet if one bought from Larue as I did or Brownell's you get a quality product.

    a lot of stuffs aren't made in the u.s.a. The slings could be assembled in the u.s.a. but the materials probably somewhere else...

    5.11 isn't made in the U.S.

    You are right, the VTAC 511 Tactical sling is not made in the US.

    The whole clothing line is made OCONUS. I have been using 511 clothing for years at work. The clothing line is made in several different countries.
