The Blue Force Gear GMT Sling is designed for users who prefer a sling with an adjustable tail. The GMT Sling does not have metal adjustment buckles that could rust, break, or damage other gear. Double Locking Sling AdjusterThe GMT sling uses a custom double locking buckle interface that provides consistent tension when both tightening and loosening the sling. Once set, it doesnt move until you want it to. Pull on the tail to tighten, grasp and pull the spherical release knob to loosen. A sewn in stop at the end of the tail keeps the sling from coming apart and releasing your weapon. Other slings utilize an outdated ALICE Pack adjusterOther adjustable slings utilize an ALICE Pack strap adjuster (from the 1960) which maintains tension via a spring that is prone to failure. This results in having to tie a knot in the webbing to keep the sling from coming apart. The adjuster release is also prone to snagging on other equipment and releasing tension allowing the sling to loosen at the worst times. Superior webbing makes the differenceThe GMT sling is made from solution dyed CORDURA nylon webbing that has more loft (thickness and softness) than traditional sling materials. This makes it especially suited for use as a rifle sling since it works well with the adjuster under tension and is also comfortable against the skin under load. Importantly, the same loft that makes the material a great choice also makes it less likely to be a snag hazard. Length34 to 64
