In the pictures above you can see extra bits of fabric dangling all around as I was still working on getting it tuned for me. Magpul leaves tons of extra webbing with the intent of the user cutting off any they don’t need and sealing the ends with heat. I ran it all the way in, and used the other two attachment points to fine tune everything. There’s yet a third adjustment point that I assume exists for those who accidentally shorten things a bit too far. Once that length is set, run the slider all the way out, extended the buttstock, and adjust the keeper at the buttstock end until you have a length that’s just a touch longer than you’d use in a standard carbine stance. Adjust the overall length using the keeper at the first attachment point. I found that the best way to set up the sling was to find the position on the handguard where you like to attach your sling, and then create a cuff and tighten it around the bicep. I’m going to try to get some time in doing some matches this year, and a sling like this will make those LONG stages a bit easier. That’s not an advertised usage for the MS1 sling on Magpul’s website, but I found it to be quite useful. But it’s far better than nothing at all, and out of standing, sitting, or kneeling positions, it does a pretty good job of adding some stability.
Is it better than a dedicated positional sling? No. The slider mechanism can slide down to form a cuff that creates a very stable shooting platform. Furthermore, it allows fine-tuning for a “supported” carbine fighting position like shown above.įor those old school shooters (and I’m one of them) who like to slip their bicep into a cuff, the MS1 should make you very happy as well. Or perhaps you want to strap the gun tightly to your body so you can get to your sidearm without your gun banging around. This can be very useful for unorthodox shooting positions which might necessitate a slightly looser fit. It allows you to very quickly and effectively change the overall length of the sling. What differentiates this sling from a simple strap is its slider buckle. Suffice to say, Magpul recognizes that there’s a bunch of different opinions and did a very good job building a sling that most users will like.
That discussion is a bit much for this space.
MAGPUL SLING HOW TO
There’s a great deal more complexity beyond that, not to mention whole schools of thought on how to use that strap to your best advantage. It is designed to keep the gun on your body as well as provide support in various shooting positions.Ī carbine sling is nothing more than a strap running from the buttstock to somewhere on the hand guard. It can be converted to a single-point sling by purchasing additional hardware from Magpul, but I tested it in its two-point configuration. As such, it comes in black, coyote, grey, and green. The MS1 is a two-point sling designed for and marketed to the tactical market.
