![]() I managed to grab some hands on time with the sling and compared it to it’s big brother, the Vickers Padded VCAS. I can’t say It was the first one I’d recommended, but as I said… Not my rifle and not my money. After looking at various options such as offered by Ferro, 5.11/Viking Tactics, Haley, BFG and LBT he settled on this one. However… this isn’t my rifle and it’s also for a different application than I’m used to. It’s not a method I use myself, I much prefer using H&K hooks to CQD sling mounts on the castle nut and rear end of the rail. Much alike the above set up by Garand Thumb himself. We looked at his Smith and Wesson M&P15/22 and the best option appeared to be by using the included MLOK rail to mount a QD point with the rear of the sling mounted directly to the Magpul MOE SL Stock on the rear of his rifle. I sent him the way of Tactical Kit to look through their list of slings and had also previously recommended he looks at Garand Thumb’s YouTube channel for inspiration as it was essential to look at how he was using and mounting the sling before deciding on the sling itself. His requirements were that he didn’t want to spend silly money but wanted a tough and well made two point that he could use as a brace whilst shooting when standing, it had to be durable and also lack unnecessary bulk. The exception being that instead of this being a personal purchase, this is actually one that I’d recommended to a colleague ( Steve) who amongst his other hobbies regularly shoots. Rich from The Reptile House Blog was kind enough to donate a sling to me for the TacBelts UK comparison with its spiritual predecessor (the PIG Drop Slider) As well as a nearly new Ferro Slingster on route from (worth a follow if you like gear/cats/edc).Īnd the latest one being the subject of this review, the BFG “One” VCAS Two Point Sling. I’ve got a couple that I’ve been playing with and for once I’ve not had to spend too much money (which is a blessing with several home projects on the go). I had a run a while ago where I had 3 different glove reviews on the go along side 3 holster reviews and two similar discussion posts… This can be a bit annoying as I’d like to offer a bit more variety to my readership, but sometimes you just seem to have things at certain times and you’ve gotta write about what’s in your head.Īt the moment, it’s slings. When you need parts that just work without complication, you need Forward Controls Design.For some reason, I find that I’m always doing several similar blogs at the same time. Not content to produce purely aesthetic components, they put function before form to create parts and accessories that actually improve the handling and function of your firearms. Low-friction quick adjustment loop guideįorward Controls Design firmly believes in the elegance of simplicity.Best of all, each sling is hand made right here in the USA! Need to get out of the sling fast? The CSF features a quick-detach buckle on the stock-end of the sling, allowing gravity to pull the rifle down and away from the shooter without getting tangled. Quick adjustments are made using a fabric pull tab that is silent, easy to use, and a different color from the body of the sling to eliminate mistakes when adjustments are needed. At 65" maximum length with 11" of quick adjustment, the Carbine Sling was built to provide just a little extra sling than is necessary to offer an exceptional range of adjustment without needing multiple triglides. The Carbine Sling from Forward Controls Design was designed from the ground up to have the features that that shooters actually want and need in a sling. ![]()
