M4 Sling Options

[sib1948]

Does anyone use a sling on their Benelli on a regular basis? I have the collapsible stock. What would be the best options?

I'm using a Blue Force Gear Vickers Padded Sling. I put an HK 1" Sling Snap Hook on it and attach it to the small hole in the Benelli Collapsible Stock. I have a Surefire Rail so I have a GG & G Sling Thingy (Heavy Duty) on the other end of the sling.

I use a Specter Gear 3pt sling with ERB on my M4s. They make one specifically for Benellis. It has a narrow strap on one
end that threads through the slot in the collapsible stock (and the pg stock slot also).

On the front I use a Blue Force Gear adapter (with the factory sling loop turned 90 degrees) with a parachute clip that I thread the Specter Gear sling onto. It clips on and off easily for cleaning or if you want more mobility for a moment.

If Blue Force made a 3pt more readily adaptable to the Benelli M4 I would buy it. I have one of theirs
on a rifle and it has extra tough nylon webbing.

Well...I'm a "single" point sling guy so I prefer a Magpul MS3 sling (in black) attached to a GG&G sling adapter made for the M4. It attaches at the end of the receiver and does not interfere with the collapsible stock at all. The best part about it is...you can convert it to a two point sling if you want.

If you need to scale a wall or climb a ladder with your M4, you can in seconds convert it and sling the M4 around your back, climb the wall/ladder, then convert it back or not. The hook on the sling is "lockable" too.

Dual Points: QD's up front on Gear Sector Rail adapter; rear QD with 550 Paracord to native aperture in the stock.

Single Point: Modified Mesa Tactical QD swivel

Thanks for the quick replies and great options provided. I'll look into all of these in more detail and decide what suits my needs the best.
