Slings for "big" "husky" guys?

[teddy12b]

I have a family member who has recently picked up everything he needs to complete an ar-15 build. I'm very happy that I get to assemble another AR-15 and that it's not costing me a dime to do so. The only missing part to this is that he needs a sling. He's a very big boy and needs a really big sling. He's excited enough that this may get him outside doing some run and gun work and help him drop a few pounds so he doesn't quite need a 3XL sling.

So, who knows of a really big sling for a big boy.

I would buy a magpul multi mission sling and add material if necessary.

I would look into a Vickers or Urban ERT sling. Both are designed with a ton of adjustment for transitioning the rifle around, and would definitely be big enough for him. I have a super weird build (shirt size is 2X Long Slim), and there is enough material to fit someone else inside of the sling with me.

I'm a big guy myself, and I'm very happy with my Boonie Packer 2P sling. Plenty of adjustment, and a nice quick release for when you need to loosen it in a rush.

For nylon, I like the ERT sling linked above. For leather, I go to Andy's Leather and have him make one.

Ah, this is a question up my alley.

What kind of sling/applications? How will it be attached to the rifle?

For a single point, I've had good luck with the Blackhawk Dieter Sling, which can also be used as a two-point if you need it.

If you want to use a two-point that is quick adjust, how much sling you need will depend on where you attach on the rifle. If you mount on the fore end just in front of the upper receiver and where the stock meets the lower receiver, you will probably be okay with a VTAC sling.

If you're wanting to use a sling for support when shooting, it's going to be a bit more challenging to fit depending on how your family member is built.

VTAC Slings

I run Viking Tactics slings and love them, they have lots of adjustment. And they offer a padded or non padded version.

He's going to use the sling as a single point attaching to a magpul asap plate. In the last few days he just blew out a knee, so getting him out back for some shooting is not going to be happening anytime soon.

Sorry to hear that! I've been having some knee trouble myself lately.

For single point ... here's your Huckleberry: Blackhawk Dieter Sling

Blackhawk has a couple of other dedicated single point slings called "Storm" that adjust up to 64 inches.
