This versatile black nylon webbing sling adapts to multiple firearms platforms while maintaining durability under field conditions.

What Makes This Different

Quick-adjust hardware allows length modifications from 30 to 48 inches without removing the sling from the firearm. This traditional two-point design works reliably in wet conditions where tactical slings with multiple buckles can bind or jam.
