How do you sling an AR15 AR10 & WHY?

[jory]

I use this (https://www.skdtac.com/Emdom-E-MM-Gunslinger-Sling-p/e2m.101.htm) along with QD sockets (one up front, one on the same side of the stock as my primary shooting side). It allows me to do rifle/pistol transitions and stow the rifle so I can use both my hands.

I ran my rear point the same way, but I found that putting it on the opposite side kept the sling out of the way better when transitioning from strong side to weak hand side shooting.

Personally not a fan of metallic sling mounts like QDs...

Durability?

2-point, always. With a buckle or something so I can quickly remove it.

I've got the same sling for work and at home from Gear Dynamics with HK hooks. If I had QD points on my rifle I'd swap it out but that's the way she roles.
For years prior I used a CPGear quick adjust sling in the same application at work.

I don't have a link but I recall seeing some good YouTube vids about this from Valor Ridge and A regular guy training

Do it for transitions on the range on my own time.
And of course for work.

Don’t you just toss the gun on the ground?

If I do transitions and don’t have a sling it just gets tossed.

Single/Two point sling that I can transition. Sits in single point configuration attached to the receiver extension plate 90% of the time. Two point is just an option for a more secure sling method if I need to just haul the rifle around or use both hands for something else. Single point is the best way when actually doing firearm manipulation.

Nice photo... but all I see is a black scope

2 point in 2 different configurations....either on the stock right side (mount depends on the stock) and left side either the handguard closer to the block or I am trying the left side sling plate and it seems to hang pretty well in my duty gear.

I use the Magpul slings but the Ferro seems pretty solid only I don't like to have to buy things separate.

Durability?

No, never had an issue with durability, pinch, twist and pivot points plus I like to run my rifles as old man slick as possible and leave the go fast bits to younger generation ...

2 point padded sling
I sling it further out on the handguard because I like to wrap the sling around my supporting hand when I fire offhand, the other point on the stock.

Exactly what I'm doing to my BCL102 and I'll be doing it with a Gear Dynamics sling.

Single point QR at the end plate. However my sling allows a quick change to two point. In that case QR on the handguard and stock. If carrying the rifle all day or on your back while quading.

Now, if you are actually competing with your rifle, in a NRA type match, you know Iron sights out to 500m and 600m using a standard course of fire say 10 rnds standing in 10 minutes at 200m, then 10 rnds rapid sitting (From standing) in 60 seconds at 200m, then 10 rnds rapid prone, (From standing) in 70 seconds at 300m and finally 10 rnds slow fire, prone in 10 minutes at 500m, you might want to consider a good old leather or synthetic 1907 pattern sling.
