I use a single point. What is the main attraction for the 3 point sling? I don't really get it. It feels uncomfortable to me for some reason.

I use a Magpul sling, in a 2 pt configuration.

If I werent cheap, Id get a VTAC 2pt padded sling.

For my use, single point and three point slings are worthless.

Try running with that single point, with no hands on the rifle. Sucks doesnt it.

I agree.

I run a 2 point sling on my ACR (Magpul MS4). Luckily the ACR has a couple built-in quick-disconnect points that are in the perfect spots. It sits perfectly across my chest when hooked up.

i used to use a magpul MS2 but i didn't like how thin the sling strap was. i got a blue force gear padded 2pt and dig it.

I run convertible bungie style slings on mine, can use as single or 2 point depending on need by moving snap hooks.

yeah its a b5. i did a blind test to my LMT sopmod and couldn't tell the difference. if you like the sopmod style stocks then i recommend it because they are super cheap relative to others.

Practically the same, the B5 is a total knockoff of the LMT. LMT vs B5

A 3 point can be used several ways. Try ridding a 4wheeler with a 1 point. IMHO a 1 pt is only good for room clearing. Long duration carry is best with a 2 or 3 pt.
