AR-15 BS Thread

No it’s a two point. The other end is just folded up with a ranger band on the other side of the receiver because I pulled the blue force insignia part to photo. My sling is a catfish.

 

OOS

 

RE: Sling choices offered are all good quality but I've found it is always a good idea to find comparison vids on YT. I bought a VTAC when I was just getting into the AR scene. It had great reviews and it is well made but I don't care for all of the buckles, slides, and tabs it has on it.

 

https://warhorseconcepts.com/ Have one of these on my AR. Many colors but he has lots of rather gaudy slings if that is your style. I like the adjuster on this better than the one on my AK.

https://wellsmadecompany.com/ Have one of these on my AK. Also some crazy colors/ patterns.

Both cost about the same. I agree the magpul MS1 is also a good value but there are some companies out there that charge absurd prices for what amounts to some webbing and buckles.

 

Some of those are Pretty Crazy LOL.

 

I run Magpul MS4 slings on my PDWs. Dual QD links that will configure either 2 point or single point.
On my MSRs I run Magpul MS1 slings. Dual point.
I run Blueforce Gear two point slings on my shotguns.

If I had money flowing out my butt, I love Savvy Sniper slings, but they are costly.

You can spend a shitload more, but If you look around, you can find all three for right around $50-$55 or less. You can also find knockoffs for around 15 bucks on Amazon. My view on a sling is two fold: Retention for close quarters and ease of carry in relaxed environments.

 

This! Although I do like my Magpul slings too.

 

Same here and very happy with them both. I run the padded MS1. They're really not padded very well but they're a little wider which I find more comfortable for the little bit of extra weight with full size vs PDW/SBR.

 

Ordered a rise armament 140 trigger last night, should be better than milspec I hope. anyone running one?

 

Anyone here hunting deer with their AR’s? 556 or 223 caliber.

If so, what have you found as the best round for it?
Thanks In advance.

 

I run them. Haven’t had any issues with it. Nice crisp break.

 

I run the 64 gr. Winchester deer season XP (16" 1:7 carbine length). high shoulder shot and DRT. Dropped 3 last year

​

 

What’s the difference between the two MS4’s other than the price. Photos look the same when I look at them.

 

Different QD mounts.

 

Word of advice:
Don't ever get curious at work and pull up the old calculator and start adding up what you spent on a build part by part...You will want to throw up.
It gets even worse when you then realize that just one build and you have more of them in the safe. Then you add ammo to that.....
Drugs and Hookers would probably be a cheaper hobby

 

I have never done this. Ignorance is bliss right?

 

Too true! I did that after I sold my Forester and the wife just shook her head and said she didn't want to know. The nice thing about firearms (and motorcycles) is that mods are usually much cheaper than vehicles... and I've adopted my wife's tactic of just saying how much I "saved"... lol.

 

stay in the bliss zone, what has been seen cannot be unseen.
