Ive said before on here I like Magpul stuff as much as anyone but do not get yourself wondering when a new product is going to come out. I try to forget about the stuff until I see a release announcement.
The UBR took about 3 years...

Chris and Travis will tell you straight up that the MS2/MS3 isn't built for comfort, it's built to facilitate fast shoulder switching and mobility in awkward positions. It's not padded, frankly if you're just letting a sling hang off your shoulders then the MS2/3 wouldn't be the right sling for you. I ran my VTAC on my SR-25 for a while, but for a class like MD, the MD sling works best.
"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
I really like, or love most every new item that MagPul brings to market, and while some of their kit may not work for evryone, I will work for some people.
However, I am also dissapointed that it has taken them soo long to release the frikken' RSA. It is something that should have been released in-conjunction with their MS2/ASAP sling system. It does look like they are just around the corner as Brownells has started advertising their pre-order for the RSA.
I have also been running the DD front sling loop as pictured above (but without the giant thumb screw), and it works perfectly in this application, but it is frikken' huge. I believe Del-Ton still has some of the DD front sling loops in-stock if anyone is looking.
are the rifle length MOE handguards out yet ?
i started this life with nothing.....kept most of it.
My guess on the MS3 sling is they are waiting for their distributors/retailers to get rid of some MS2s before they drop a product that might really slow down those sales.

A thread to complain that people don't have a product that is still in development? Come on guys, this place is better than this.
I forgot what board I was on for a minute.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

Maybe they shouldn't announce and catalog a product that's still in development, what 10 months early? And with all due respect I don't see any gears wheels or timing issues to resolve.
I don't work for Magpul, they make some neat shit but they need to get their development/advertising/production in tune.

Oh my, I now feel properly reprimanded. Do you work for Magpul too?
In truth if Stickman hadn't inserted himself in this thread I would never have posted. His close association to Magpul made his post even more TOS appropriate. His comment was not what I would have expected from a man of his standing. That's all I have to say on this.
