Sling For 858's - What do you guy's Use/Suggest?
- Thread starter Dorian Gray

Vickers sling is the only way to go. Hooks onto the front ring and onto the rear sling loop perfectly.
To give you an idea we sell about 16,000 VCAS a year compared to about 12 VTAC slings.
Farmboy, do you have any pictures of one of the Vickers slings attached?
Do they require any extra attachments? or are they a bolt-and-go item?

I'd also like to see this if you've got one Farmboy. It'd help me decide. I'll probably be contacting you soon anyway though. That VCAS looks to be pretty much what i was looking for.
Also, thanks for all the replies so far guys. Anybody else have any info on slings for an 858?
Good thing i came upon this thread
The sling on my brand new cz seems to be very heavily used, the leather part of it doesnt seem too secure
Quick question.. VCAS and VCAS Medic, why such a price difference? Whats there on VCAS thats missing on the Medic sling? or is it just on sale?

There are a few variations in the Vickers (VCAS) sling.
Right now we are blowing out all that are in OD, ATACS, and Multicam. I belive the medic and push button one as well.
Now there is the option of AA or CNC'd adjuster.
AA is Acetol (type of plastic) and made by ITW. These are issued to the Marine Corp. and I haven't heard of any coming back broken. None have ever come back to me broken.
The CNC's one is just that, aluminum adjuster that's be CNC'd.
Now on the different sling versions:
Reg VCAS: Will fit most collapsible stocks and forward sling loops with no other parts needed. Comes in AA or CNC'd version.
Medic VCAS: Comes with 2 AA adjusters to allow for medics and others to tighten the VCAS even more when it's on their back.
DDM4 VCAS: Made for Daniel Defense rifles. Push button up front, fit's collapsible stocks on the back. AA Adjuster.
Push Button VCAS: Push Button on front and back. AA adjuster.
Cobra VCAS: Discontinued. All metal hardware.
SAW/M240 VCAS: Made for the C9 and C6.

need to see pictures of that folder w/ sling. I've been burned bad by slings and attachments before, so I'm looking for function.
Thanks farmboy for clarifying the models and features, pretty good idea of what I will buy now.
