The Patented Vickers Combat Applications Sling™ has revolutionized the way we carry automatic rifles. Developed with industry friend, expert, and former 1st SFOD-Delta operational member Larry Vickers and author of the Vickers Guide series of firearms books, the Vickers Sling™ incorporates key features from real world experience that makes the two point sling effective and durable - the choice tactical sling requested by name. The Vickers Sling™ has been our most popular product of all, with service in every branch of service here at home as well as several foreign militaries, making it the clear choice for an AR15 sling.
Able to quickly transition from carrying a slung rifle comfortably to combat ready, the patent pending Quick Adjuster has bridged the gap between the two primary uses of weapon slings – from transporting to fighting. All Vickers Slings™ are built with precision and pride right here at home in the US with superior materials.
The Vickers Sling attaches directly to fixed loop firearm attachment systems. Additional hardware can be purchased and added to the front and backend of the sling for more firearm attachment methods.
"The Vickers Padded Sling is without doubt the most comfortable combat carry sling I have ever slung around my shoulders." - Shotgun News, March 2015, Vol 69 - Issue 9, pg 18
There are two options available, Nylon or Metal. The lightweight glass reinforced DuPont Zytel® Nylon hardware lays flatter for comfort while carrying a firearm. There is also an option to upgrade to metal, machined aluminum hardware for extra strength.
For the padded version - see the Padded Vickers Sling page. The 2” inline pad doesn’t move up or down the sling and is made from closed cell foam that won’t separate or gain water weight.
For additional color options for your sling, simply use the Custom Sling Builder: Kryptek Highlander, Kryptek Typhon, Multicam Black, Multicam Arid, Multicam Tropic and more colors are available.

Purchased for Mossberg 590 Shotgun with Pistol Handle. Far superior to a standard sling!
Materials are excellent quality. Craftsmanship is excellent. Design is perfect and it functions better than any other i have used. I can't recommend it enough.
I've had other slings made by competitors. I was a little nervous about the price. But, I pulled the trigger (so to speak). I went with the plastic tri-glides to save weight and noise. Also added a padding for the shoulder. And, I can't say it enough. It is perfect.
Wish I didn’t waste money on other slings and just got this one first
Absolutely fantastic slings. I recommend the padded version as it is very comfortable especially with a heavier rifle. After ordering one I ordered additional slings for all my ARs.
I love these slings. The materials, quality, construction, ease of use, everything about them. They're the only slings I put on my rifles, doesn't matter the application or platform. Other manufacturers use inferior nylon or plastic. The slide and hardware options are perfect too. I love them so much I give them as gifts. For me, there is, and has been, no other option.
What we have come to expect from BF. Quality workable sling.
Practical, Quality, Rugged. Could ask for better.
Sling is quality throughout. You can tell the design was conceived by folks who USE slings. I have two on my competition PCC's. This sling is a legacy sling. I suspect my son and his son will be able to enjoy this sling. It is that well made.
