Forest City Surplus SLings

[miker123]

SO i was cruising FCS today and saw a three point sling.
i have it set up (followed a youtube help vid) and it just feels... wrong.
camera is in truck with the wifey so i can't take pictures just yet (will do so asap)

was wondering if anyone has had expierence with said 3 point sling and can help me out..

or did i simply waste 14 bucks? lol :banghead:

i know i know... not much help can be given until pics/vid of what i've got going on...

any help is greatly appreciate

Glad you appreciate our cluelessness to answer the vague.........



How is that place doing anyways, haven't been there since........ dunno, 2003 I think (for my grandad's funeral, remember my ex was pregnant with our son at that point). London is my third home BTW, so many great memories there from visiting family... and cruising the surplus stores with my dad, another military gear junkie.

That is how it should be.

How would you want it instead?
A 3-pt sling is made to let you tuck your rifle in your back easily when wearing a vest and not be in the way. That sling does that perfectly.

You put it on properly too........... if you shoot left handed. With a three point, the shoulder you tuck the stock into is the one the strap sits on. After you sort that out, tighten it up against the rifle enough to let the peice slie without getting in the way of anything, then adjust the overall length to suit your preferences for hanging height vs. shouldered length.

BTW, interesting sweater, reminds me that doing I love mazes, and.............. are those parachute pants?!?
