Sling for AR10 #8157428 02/05/21 09:57 PM

OP ijohnston Pro Tracker I Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 1,804 Weatherford	I took my son to S Texas this year so I preferred for him to take a step up from his 243 to a 308. While target shooting he preferred my ar10 over the bolt. Unfortunately I did not have a sling for that gun. Can any of you recommend a good sling for the AR10? The ones I normally see are not the typical hunting rifle type of sling. Looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Mine used these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FNSCG3W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Did you tell your friend there is a strap location on the forearm? Looks functional but might obscure the scope image a bit. Originally Posted by onlysmith&wesson I was wrong...on anything technical.

What I do not know about is the placement of the rear strap - something I will have "my friend" look into. Last edited by Hudbone; 02/11/21 02:23 PM.

Easy pull to adjust, front carry for those spot and stalk times on hogs, or while riding ATV. An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I thread them around the back of the buffer tube, where that long skinny slot is on top.

For a righty, it'd be rear swivel on the right side, front on the left side. Quick adjust is essential since it allows you to do everything from cinching it tight to your body to using the sling for more stable shooting.
