m249 Sling

Manni · February 17th, 2009, 23:23

I have been looking around for a good sling for the m249 (A&K) and I cannot seem to figure out what i would need for this gun. When i look at slings in the buy/sell accessories section there seem to be all sorts of slings specific for the m249 but there always sold. When I look on websites no one seems to have slings that i think will work well and/or they are not stating what type of gun that particular sling works bext for.

So my questions are as follows:
1.) Are there specific slings for the m249 or am I just confuzed...
2.) What type of sling works best for an m249?
3.) Where can i find this type of sling? (Cost factor would be nice too)

Because of the nature of question 3 feel free to pm me the info...

TAG makes a good sling for the M249, otherwise you might be able to scrum up a surplused Canuck or Yank sling for cheap on eBay...

Oh yeah, three point slings are some of the better ideas for a Minimi. They let you patrol with it slung low at the hip, and then when taking the prone won't be tight enough to be awkward.

Three point slings on a belt fed are worse than a carbine. A three point sling should never have been suggested for a belt fed (I guess with airsoft it doesn't matter though)

I never had a problem using them...but that might just be my luck then
