Two point slings are ideal for most situations, but there are times when deploying from a vehicle or fighting in complex structures that a 1 point sling has a clear advantage. Combining the polymer Burnsed Socket and patented RED Swivel, the Vickers 221 Sling allows users to switch from two point to one point mode instantly by pulling on the RED Swivel knob and reinserting it in to the Burnsed Socket at the rear of the receiver.
The instantaneous adjustability of the sling is still maintained in both 1 and 2 point modes. The 1.25' wide sling is sewn to the front of the sling towards the muzzle. A standard push button swivel and molded Burnsed Socket are woven on to the rear allowing full adjustability of the sling for use with or without body armor.Features and Specifications:Switch From 2 Point To 1 Point1.25' Sling WebbingITW GhilleTex Acetal Hardware (A Military Grade, Low IR Plastic)Tex 90 Bonded Nylon ThreadSolution Dyed Cordura WebbingReady To AttachRED Swivel BuildMachined Steel, Phosphated For Maximum Corrosion ResistanceNylon Coated, Double Crimped Directly To 7 Strand Stainless Steel Aircraft CableTextured Sphero-conical Shaped Pull KnobStainless Steel InternalsOlive Drab.
