A Modern Tail Sling with Updated Features for the Modern Rifle Shooter
Legacy tail slings suffer from two major deficiencies. First, metal adjustment buckles that rust, break and damage other gear. These buckles also have springs that often fail leaving the sling useless. Next is the inferior thin webbing used with these buckles. This thin webbing is required to allow the buckle to adjust but it's also uncomfortable as it cut into the user's neck and shoulders while simultaneously becoming a major snag hazard on surrounding equipment. The GMT sling uses a custom double locking buckle interface designed and manufactured specifically for this application from durable and rust free glass-filled nylon. This adjuster provides consistent tension when both tightening and loosening the sling. Once set, it doesn't move until you want it to. Over two years in the design and development phase, this adjuster is the heart of the GMT sling. Pull on the tail to tighten, grasp and pull the spherical release knob to loosen. A sewn in stop at the end of the tail keeps the sling from coming apart and releasing your weapon. Thin and flat webbing can abrade and even cut skin under tension as well as being prone to snagging on other objects. The BFG proprietary solution dyed CORDURA nylon webbing used for the GMT sling has more "loft" (thickness and softness) than traditional sling materials. This makes it especially suited for a sling application since it works well with the adjuster under tension and is also comfortable against the skin under load.Blue Force Gear GMT Sling Specifications and Features:
