The 3-points, gripods, and FLC vests were cool back in OIF. The general consensus these days is that they will get you killed, its amazing any of us survived.
I’ve been through so many different slings in 40 years, about five years ago I bought a dozen of those old OD canvas “general purpose straps” after seeing them in photos of Vietnam war car15 and have gotten to love them. Got them on about everything lol.
I used a 3-point sling with my M16A2 , but went back to the black USGI sling when I was issued an M4. The 3-point was great for carrying the rifle all day, but sort of a pain when going into vehicles. I didnt like having the rifle hooked to me all the time. I still have the 3-point in my gear box though, it was with me when I was cutting my teeth in Iraq, didnt have the heart to get rid of it.
Can you please review the Surefire M500AB weaponlight handguard system. Why I can't find a only lot of information and I am curious to buy that light system for my AR 15.
