MS3 sling?
Anyone know when this baby is due to be released? Worth waiting for or just get the MS2?

Re: MS3 sling?
No idea when the MS3 will be coming out, but I have to say I love my MS2. I use it a lot as a one-point camera strap, which it works perfect as! The only compliant I have is that the webbing material is a velcro magnet.

Re: MS3 sling?
i think its smaller hooks but i read that on ar15.com, so idk, and i love my ms2 also
Re: MS3 sling?
Redesigned clips/clasps from what I understand. The 3 uses something along the lines of HK hooks vs. the butterfly clips on the MS2.kwin201 wrote:i also love my ms2 whats the difference between the 2 and 3?

Re: MS3 sling?
From the photos I would say it's the clasps. If this is the only difference.. then I would stay with the MS2 for me since I use the fisherman's hook to loop into paracord that's attach to my camera. If it has the long clasp, then there would be less flexibility that I like.
I do hate the velcro magnet.. but I really don't have any velcro hooks that I keep near by to have it hook into. I also wish the strap was a little wider.. but otherwise it's awesome.

Re: MS3 sling?
My only gripe is that there isn't a pad for it.
Re: MS3 sling?
I saw it the other day. Chris/Travis/Steve were using that sling. Looked pretty nice, but I wouldn't retire my MS2 just to get it. Only thing I thought was nicer that the MS2 was the clasp for the single point to 2 point conversion. It didn't have a locking mechanism so it's faster to work/clip on their RSA's.
Re: MS3 sling?
I'm just waiting on the RSA. I'll stick with my MS2. Hopefully, any day now.

Re: MS3 sling?
I love my MS2 (I was using it hunting yesterday), but I wish thye didn't use such fine threaded material.
I can pick that thing up by just laying my rough man hands on it and lifting. The fineness if the material sticks like velcro to my rough skin.
Also mabey a stronger spring on the clasp that has the little lanyard on it. It hasn't failed on me but I fear it will get slightly pulled and the gun will fall to the ground.

Re: MS3 sling?
Saw one a MD class in September. I like it. Would not throw out the MS2 for one either, but of note I bet it is nearly half the wieght if the MS2. So I am waiting for the the MS3 for future purchases.Ryo wrote:I saw it the other day. Chris/Travis/Steve were using that sling. Looked pretty nice, but I wouldn't retire my MS2 just to get it.

I wouldn't think it's half the weight. Maybe the clasp is lighter but it's peanuts in weight savings.LonghunterCO wrote:Saw one a MD class in September. I like it.

Re: MS3 sling?
I definitely will need a new sling soon, my MS2 clasps are almost completely worn through. I carry all day though so I have definitely put it through its paces. Should these last more than a year?

Here it is, the buttstock side clip has spent half the time on this buttstock half the time on a quick detach clip on my Magpul UBR.

. Man that has either being carried 24x7 or you have been swinging from it! Magpul needs to use you as a product tester!

Magpul owes you a new one just for loyalty of use (besides warrenty) 24/7 and to keep you alive.
